 Siege of Yorktown Begins

When

Where

Who

 What 


When: 1781
Where: Yorktown, Virginia
Who: Continental Army and French Navy against the British Army.
What:
In the last campaign of the war, Washington successfully trapped the British army under General Lord Cornwallis on the Virginian peninsula port of Yorktown.  After enduring a siege, the British sued to surrender and the British government realized they could no longer win a war against the combined might of France, Spain, the Netherlands and the US.  Peace negotiations to end the Revolutionary War began.

Why

significant

Though an alliance was created three years before, coordinating American and French forces was a tedious and often unsuccessful venture. Yorktown was a remarkable success not only because it worked but because the coordination was done over thousands of miles with hundred of components. Its success ultimately convinced the untenable position of the British.
