During the War of 1812, British forces invaded Washington DC in August 1814 and set fire to various government buildings, including the White House, the Capitol, and other public structures. The attack was in retaliation for the American burning of York (now Toronto) in Canada. The city was left in ruins, but the American government was able to rebuild and restore Washington DC.
