Washington's most notable victories were over Gen. John Burgoyne at Saratoga and against Charles, Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown. Both surrendered their armies to Washington.
British military officer Charles Cornwallis - also known as the Marquis Cornwallis and the Earl Cornwallis - is considered important because of his involvement in the Seven Years War and the American Revolutionary War. In the Seven Years War, he was known for helping prevent the French invasion of Hanover, and was distinguished in several battles. During the American Revolution, he was most known for surrendering at the Siege of Yorktown, which was a pivotal battle, and was considered by some to have been the end of America's War for Independence.
The French sent a fleet to keep the British forces under Lord Cornwallis from receiving supplies, so eventually he had to surrender.
