Best Answer

Earlier in the War, the French had lent the Americans both a substantial army and a navy. Planning to trap Cornwallis and force a surrender, George Washington, Lafayette, and the Count Jean Baptiste de Rochambeau led their forces to Yorktown by land at the same time Francois Joseph Paul de Grasse led the French navy to Yorktown by sea (to Chesapeake Bay and the York River). The plan was executed perfectly, and Cornwallis was forced to surrender.
