It was the Comte de Rochambeau who commanded a force of over 8,000 French ground troops during the 1781 battle that occurred at Yorktown, Virginia. In support of General George Washington and some 11,000 American soldiers, Rochambeau and other French contributors provided valuable assistance in the victory that would prove to be the final major battle of the Revolutionary War.
