Conditions were very harsh at Valley Forge. The men were short of food, many did not have adequate clothing or boots, their housing was poorly insulated and they did not have enough fuel to keep warm. There was also a problem with men leaving the army. Some deserted, but others had only signed up for a certain period of duty and their time expired.

There was no battle at Valley Forge and thus nothing to win. The question was whether the American army would disappear as men died of starvation, exposure and disease or deserted to avoid those perils. In that sense Mother Nature was the victor. The Americans did come out of Valley Forge with an intact army in the spring of 1778, and moreover, it was a better trained army than ever before, so that I suppose could be counted as a victory.
