In 1781, during what turned out to be the decisive (and final) major battle of the Revolutionary War, Lord Cornwallis and his large army were trapped at Yorktown through a dual movement by his American and French opponents. First, the ground troops hotly pursued and then deftly surrounded Cornwallis in what he thought would be a defensible position at Yorktown. Second, the French fleet won a clear victory over the British fleet in the waters offshore from Yorktown, thereby completing the encirclement of Cornwallis. It was only a matter of time before he would be forced to surrender.

Why did Cornwallis decide to take his troops and camp at Yorktown?
Cornwallis decided to take his troops north and camp at Yorktown because Cornwallis was quite tired of marching. Washington's army and himself were only hundreds of miles north. Washington thought of a plan to trap the British. His plan was to bring his army south to join Greene. So the American and French Soldiers could surround Yorktown by land. If the French navy sailed into Chesapeake Bay, French Ships could also trap the British. Finally the British Army was trapped.
