Answer:
<h2>D. The Battle of New Orleans, the burning of Washington and the "The Star-Spangled Banner"</h2>
Explanation:
United States and British empire participated int eh war of 1812. Canadian volunteers and Native Americans sided with the British as the British soldiers were engaged in fighting Napoleon in Europe.
The Americans declared the war against the British because the British were harassing the American sailors and impressioned them to serve in the British Navy.
Another reason was that the British were funding the native American territories in the west to stop the US expansion in the western territories. The fighting started when the US attacked the Canadian provinces in 1812 but their attacks were repulsed by the Canadians.
Later the British soldiers were freed from the fighting in Europe when Napoleon Bonaparte abdicated. <em>It freed the British soldiers and they were sent to fight in the North America</em>.
The final battle of this war took place in January 1815 when the British attacked New Orleans and were repulsed by the Americans. Andrew Jackson was leading the American soldiers.
The war ended with the treaty of Ghent. It was signed on December 24, 1814 but the war continued till January 1815 as the forces were unaware of the treaty.
Francis Scott Key was an American lawyer who wrote the poem "the Star Spangled Banner" during the war.
