Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When Napoleon was defeated, the tide of the War of 1812 turned decisively in favor of the British. This was most notable when they burned Washington D.C. and the White House to the ground in 1814. The Napoleonic Wars had kept the best and brightest of the British navy engaged, so when the fighting ended abruptly, the United States, which had been doing poorly in the war, was poised to receive the full attention of the British military. Realizing the problems this would cause, the United States made peace.
