In 1814 during the War of 1812 the British invaded Washington, D.C. They set fire to many public buildings and stole property from the buildings. What single thing probably saved the city from destruction?

Sagot :

A sudden and violent thunderstorm extinguished most of the fire.


One night during the War of 1812, a violent thunderstorm emerged out of nowhere, which chased the red coats away from burning more buildings. The rain from the storm doused the fires that were all around, which then saved the city from total destruction.

Hopefully this helped and good luck.
