Battle of Yorktown

On October 19, 1781, American and French forces achieved a decisive victory over the British Army at Yorktown, Virginia, effectively ending the Revolutionary War. General George Washington’s successful siege forced the surrender of General Charles Cornwallis, marking the final major military engagement of the conflict and paving the way for American independence.

The victory at Yorktown demonstrated the determination, perseverance, and unity of those who fought for liberty. Two years later, the Treaty of Paris formally recognized the United States as an independent nation, securing the freedoms that continue to shape the country today.
