Final answer:
Yes, England's navy attacked Fort McHenry in 1814 during the War of 1812.
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, England's navy attacked Fort McHenry in 1814. During the War of 1812, the British Navy, led by Admiral Alexander Cochrane, launched an attack on Fort McHenry, which was the main defense of Baltimore harbor. The British fleet bombarded the fort for twenty-five hours but failed to capture it. This event inspired Francis Scott Key to write the poem 'In Defense of Fort McHenry,' which later became the lyrics to the U.S. national anthem, 'The Star-Spangled Banner.'
