Why was the star spangled banner created? What does it mean?

O say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave

My guess is that it’s about pride for the American flag and the victory over the British. That’s how I interpret it as an Australian anyway.

Sep 13, 1814. The failed bombardment of Fort McHenry forced the British to abandon their land assault on the crucial port city of Baltimore.
