قصف البيت الأبيض في حلة كوكو

Quote: The United States went to war with Great Britain for a second time from 1812 to 1814 in a war that became known as the War of 1812. During this war, the British were able to briefly gain control of Washington, D.C., and burned the White House in a symbol of triumph over the Americans. The damage to the still relatively new White House was extensive. Most of the wooden interior was destroyed. In fact, the only things that are known to have survived the fire are a painting of George Washington that then-first lady Dolly Madison took with her when she left the building as the British were approaching, and the exterior stone walls, which can still be seen today.
