Answer:

The Burning of Washington was a British invasion of Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, during the War of 1812. On August 24, 1814, after defeating the Americans at the Battle of Bladensburg, a British force led by Major General Robert Ross burned down multiple buildings, including the White House (then called the Presidential Mansion), the Capitol building, as well as other facilities of the U.S. government.[3] The attack was in part a retaliation for the recent American destruction of Port Dover in Upper Canada. The Burning of Washington marks the only time since the American Revolutionary War that a foreign power has captured and occupied the United States capital.

"With the new government, there is something called 'checks and balances'. This is a way for the government to ensure that there is fair representation and equal distribution of power throughout all of the branches. There will be 3 branches; the Legislative (congress), Executive (The elected president), and Judicial (Supreme court). Unlike the monarchy in England, power is equal. I will explain. Starting with the executive branch, the president may veto laws, or refuse to pass them. The president may also appoint judges to the courts, but to keep the president in check, the Judicial branch has the authority to declare presidential acts unconstitutional. The court mat also declare laws from congress unconstitutional, but Congress still has the power to approve/disapprove presidential nominations into the Supreme court, and congress can also impeach judges. To even out the power, Congress can also approve presidential nominations, and control the budget, pass laws over the president's veto, and even impeach the president. This way, every branch presented has its own strengths over one another."

Once the united states entered World War I, its navy played a key role by
Alinara [238K]

The United States Navy began it's participation in WWI on April 6, 1917. This happened inmediatly after the declaration of war on the German Empire, after more than two years and a half of president Woodrow Wilson trying to keep the US out of the war.

The main focus of the US Navy was to convoy supplies and men to France and Italy, and to counter-attack enemy U-Boats in the Atlantic and Mediterranean seas. U-Boat stands for 'Unterseeboot' which literally means 'Undersea Boat'.

Very few decisive submarine maneuvers took place because of the US late entry to WWI, and the main ships from the navy never really engaged the German Empire fleet.

Have a great day!
