The Battle of Baltimore: The Battle of Baltimore was a combined sea/land battle fought between British and American forces in the War of 1812. September 13-14, 1814 was one of the turning points of the war as American forces repulsed sea and land invasions off the busy port city of Baltimore, Maryland, and killed the commander of the invading British army forces. The defense of Baltimore’s Fort McHenry in the battle inspired Francis Scott Key to compose the poem "Defence of Fort McHenry" which later became the lyrics for "The Star-Spangled Banner," the national anthem of the United States of America.
