Описание:
The Battle of Yorktown, fought in Virginia, was the last major battle of the American Revolutionary War, where American and French forces, led by General George Washington and the Comte de Rochambeau, decisively defeated the British army under General Lord Cornwallis. This victory trapped Cornwallis' army on the Yorktown peninsula and led to the British seeking peace negotiations, effectively securing American independence.Добавлено на ленту времени:
