This claim is inaccurate. Since the burning of the US Capitol in August 1814, during the War of 1812, there have been four notable further attacks before this year\u2019s incident: Erich Muenter exploded three sticks of dynamite in the US Senate reception room (1915); Puerto Rican nationalists opened fire from the US House of Representatives visitors\u2019 gallery (1954); the Weather Underground group exploded a bomb (1971); and seven people were arrested for causing an explosion in the US Senate (1983).<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belfast Telegraph published <\/span>an article<\/span><\/a> that claimed the last time the US Capitol was attacked was during the War of 1812: \u201cRobert Ross \u2026 from Rostrevor in Co Down, will always be remembered as the man who burned down the White House in 1814.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US Capitol comprises the buildings that house both the US House of Representatives and the US Senate. But was Robert Ross really the \u201clast man to attack the US Capitol?\u201d We reviewed incidents of the US Capitol buildings being attacked.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting fire to the Capitol (1814)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belfast Telegraph article describes how Major General Ross \u201cled his troops to Washington and set fire to the Capitol, Washington Navy Yard and the President\u2019s Mansion.\u201d These actions are described in detail in the book, <\/span>The Man Who Captured Washington<\/span><\/i><\/a> (see especially Chapter 10, \u201cCourteous Conflagrator\u201d, pages 150\u2013165). The orders were given by Royal Navy Vice Admiral Sir Alexander Cockburn.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dynamite sticks (1915)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 4 July 1915, US Independence Day, <\/span>Erich Muenter exploded three sticks of dynamite<\/span><\/a> in the Senate reception room (reported in <\/span>New York Times<\/span><\/a>). The former professor of German defended his actions as an \u201cexclamation point\u201d in response to American financiers aiding the UK against Germany in World War I. No one died in the attack, while Muenter later shot and injured financier JP Morgan Jr.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shooting from the visitors\u2019 gallery (1954)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 1 March 1954, <\/span>Lolita Lebron<\/span><\/a> led a group of four Puerto Ricans who <\/span>shot from the visitors\u2019 gallery in the House of Representatives<\/span><\/a>. Five congressmen were injured.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capitol bomb explosion (1971)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 1 March 1971, a group calling itself the Weather Underground claimed responsibility for a <\/span>bomb that exploded in the US Capitol building<\/span><\/a>. No one was injured in the blast. This group carried out <\/span>several bombings<\/span><\/a> in its <\/span>campaign<\/span><\/a>, including the Long Island Court House, the New York Police Department headquarters, the Pentagon, and the State Department. No one is known to have been arrested for the US Capitol incident.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senate bomb explosion (1983)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 7 November 1983, someone claiming to be from a group called the Armed Resistance Unit rang the US Capitol, informing them of a pending attack; there was <\/span>an explosion that caused considerable damage to the second floor of the Senate<\/span><\/a>. No one was killed in the attack, partly because proceedings for the day <\/span>finished early<\/span><\/a>. The action was carried out by <\/span>M19<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>described as America\u2019s first female terrorist group<\/span><\/a>, which said that the action was in response to US military actions in Grenada and Lebanon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There have been four notable attacks on the US Capitol in-between Robert Ross and the incident on 6 January 2021. While Major General Robert Ross in 1814 was the last foreign attacker, Linda Evans and Laura Whitehorn were among the most recent attackers in 1983.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
