(CNN) It's only natural that the War of 1812 should be on President Donald Trump's mind. It was during that conflict between an infant United States and its former colonial master Great Britain that Francis Scott Key wrote the poem that would become the National Anthem -- on September 13, 1814.

Trump loves the National Anthem and has made insisting that people respect it by standing a major focus of his Twitter feed over the past year.

Most Americans might also know about the War of 1812 for the Battle of New Orleans , which made a hero of Andrew Jackson, who would become Trump's favorite President.

Or, perhaps more so, for the famous burning of Washington, including the Capitol and the White House, by the British, which occurred just a few weeks before Key wrote his poem about Fort McHenry.

British redcoats burned the White House and other buildings in Washington 200 years ago this month, in the summer of 1814.

Trump currently lives in the White House, where, according to a C-SPAN account online , you can still see burn marks from when the British troops stormed in, finished the meal that had been prepared for President James Madison, his wife, Dolley, and 40 guests before they fled the city.
