24 Aug 1814 Jahr - Burning of Washinton
Beschreibung:
The British were urged to attack the former colonies after American troops attacked Canada and burned government buildings. Washington was picked as the target because of its symbolic importance, it's easy access from the sea, and the inability of inexperienced American troops to defend it.
