It was fought on US soil but did they really get invaded in that war? They declared war on Great Britain. They even invaded Canada themselves. It just doesn't seem to match the conflicts the USA brings upon other nations.

It might be mere semantics, but the 1814 burning of Washington has been depicted as an invasion.
