Abstract

The article "BALTIMORE 1814" from the History of War journal discusses the War of 1812, focusing on the British assault on Baltimore in 1814. The conflict arose from strained relations between the United States and Britain, with the British targeting Baltimore due to its economic significance and pro-French sentiments. The American defense, led by General Samuel Smith and Brigadier General John Stricker, successfully repelled the British forces, with the Battle of Baltimore ultimately contributing to the end of the war. The British failed to capture Fort McHenry, leading to a British retreat and eventual peace treaty in December 1814. [Extracted from the article]
