What was the final battle of the American Revolution?
The battle of Yorktown was the last battle of the Revolutionary War.Thanks! : )Actually the war continued for two more years after Yorktown (which ended in September 1781). Yorktown was the last major battle between the Americans and the British, and is widely considered to be the decisive battle of the war- but there were many more subsequent small battles, especially at sea and in the west against the Native Americans. In addition, remember that Spain, France and the Netherlands had joined the American side- just because the Americans were mostly finished with the war didn't mean that these other countries were too!The last battle of the war was actually in India in summer of 1783. A British army was besieged by a joint French and Indian army at Cuddalore. The siege ended when both sides agreed to stop fighting and begin peace talks.Not counting these battles outside of the Colonies, the last known battle for the Americans was in September 1782 (almost exactly a year after Yorktown) at the siege of Fort McHenry, in modern West Virginia. The American fort was attacked by a small force of Native American and British troops; the Americans won.In November 1783, the Treaty of Paris was fully ratified, and the war was finally officially ended.
