Answer:

The War of 1812.

Explanation:

Francis Scott Key was inspired to write "The Star-Spangled Banner" by witnessing the British bombarding the Maryland fort during the War of 1812.   Key saw a lone U.S. flag still flying over Fort McHenry. As reflected in the lyrics of the anthem: "And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there."

At first, it was conceived as a poem that was later published in newspapers and then set to the music of a popular English song called "To Anacreon in Heaven", composed by John Stafford Smith. After president Woodrow Wilson said it should be played at all official events in 1916, it was finally adopted as the national anthem on March 3, 1931.

This group of Jews gets their name from the Hebrew word for Germany. What is it?
jasenka [17]

Answer:  ASHKENAZIC jews

The Hebrew word "Ashkenaz" referred to Germany.  So "Ashkenazic Jews" is a name used  to refer to those of Jewish ancestry living in Germany, as well as surrounding areas (France and eastern Europe).

The Hebrew word "Sepharad" referred to Spain.  "Sephardic Jews" refers to Jews of Spain and Portugal, as well as North Africa and the Middle East.  Remember that migration of Jewish and Arab populations into Spain and Portugal came by way of North Africa, so that helps you understand why those regions are all grouped under the name "Sephardic."
