The fact that Yorktown was located on a river, enabled the French navy (warships) to prevent British escape by sea. If it had been further inland, the area might not have been as well explored as the river, and therefore making it a lot harder for General Washington to plan a trap. Also, being by a river eliminates an escape by land in one direction, leaving only three directions to be guarded.
General Cornwallis was in the center of Yorktown so they surrounded his troops, so Cornwallis finally surrendered after 2 weeks.
Americans and french won the battle of Yorktown
French.
The french joined forces with the Americans in the battle of Yorktown. This is the most likely reason for the battle ending in surrender.
It was won by the Americans (with the help of the French Navy) and was the end of the American Revolution.
Yorktown's relative location was strategically advantageous for the Americans during the Revolutionary War. Situated on the Virginia coast near the Chesapeake Bay, it allowed American forces, led by General George Washington, to receive crucial supplies and reinforcements from the French navy. Additionally, its proximity to British supply lines made it easier for the Americans to mount a successful siege against British General Cornwallis, ultimately leading to the decisive victory at the Siege of Yorktown in 1781. This victory effectively ended major military operations in the war.
I say that the battle if Yorktown were surrendered by cornwallid
With a little French help, the colonists were able to beat the British in the final battle of the Revolutionary War. This battle took place in Yorktown, Virginia.
how the french navy helped George Wahinggton at yorktown was the french sent 5,000 soilders to aid the US
This showed the french that the colonists are good fighters(they might win the battle at Yorktown), and that they, the French should join forces with the Americans, to help them break away from Great Britain.
Well accually yorktown itself helped the war because of the location the town. There was a river so the french could stop the beeotches from escaping across the river and also it was very hilly so while the beeotches climbed up the hill the american would shoot them down.

They helped by sending a fleet of navy ships during the Battle of Yorktown.
The french provided soldiers so the Continental army outnumbered the British. The French's ships also blocked the ports so the British couldn't escape, receive food or help from Britian, or send word to Britain.
