What is the name of the national anthem of the United States?

The national anthem of the United States is known as "The Star-Spangled Banner." This piece was penned by Francis Scott Key in 1814 and reflects his experiences during the bombardment of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812. The anthem captures the resilience and spirit of the American people in the face of adversity, symbolized by the sight of the American flag still waving after a night of battle.

In addition to its historical significance, "The Star-Spangled Banner" was officially adopted as the national anthem of the United States in 1931. The music is based on a popular British tune and has become a key part of American culture, often played at public events, especially sporting events, to evoke national pride and unity.
