Washington was burned in August of 1814 by thoroughly British infantry fresh
from the Peninsular War in Spain. They sailed across the Atlantic, arrived
via Bermuda, and landed in Maryland. They were under the command of Major
General Robert Ross, who seems not have set foot on North American soil in
his life prior to the assault, and who would die in action before ever
reaching Canada itself.
They broke the American defenses in Maryland at the Battle of Bladensburg,
marched inland, occupied Washington, put it to the torch, and then lit out
again. "Canadians" had nothing whatever to do with it except in the most
dubious abstract sense -- that is, of the thing having been accomplished by
soldiers fighting on the same side as the Canadian colonists. In much the
same way, it was the Soviets who landed in Normandy in 1944, and the Germans
who bombed Pearl Harbor.
