CANADA BURNED DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE

Yes its true on Wednesday, August 24, 1814 biritsh occupational troops set fire to the white house (although it had been evacuated earlier) the glow was said to be so strong that it was visible from up to fifty miles away.


Info from: http://www.whitehousehistory.org/08/subs/08_b04.html

Although this was acredited to the british military it was burned down by the occupational troops who were residents of Canada. Although Canada was not its own country back then (Canada was officlay formed in 1871) Canadians were and still are the only nations to burn down The White House

TAKE THAT!
