The Day the White House Was Burned 🔥 | America’s Capital Attacked by a Foreign Army (1814)

In 1814, something unbelievable happened in American history.
The White House—the symbol of U.S. power—was set on fire. 🔥

Not by Americans.
But by a foreign army.

During the War of 1812, British forces invaded Washington, D.C. as revenge after American troops burned the Canadian capital, York. British soldiers marched straight into the heart of the city and burned the White House, the U.S. Capitol, and other government buildings.

President James Madison had already fled.
Washington was in flames.

Then—something unexpected saved the capital.
A massive storm extinguished the fires and forced the British to retreat.

When the White House was rebuilt, it was painted white to hide the burn marks—giving it the name we still use today.
