Surrender at Yorktown: The End of a War
On October 19, 1781, the siege of Yorktown concluded with the surrender of British General Charles Cornwallis's army to combined American and French forces. This pivotal defeat effectively ended major fighting in the American Revolutionary War, paving the way for the Treaty of Paris in 1783 and the recognition of American independence. It marked a decisive victory for the Continental Army, supported by French naval and land forces.
