A large number of British troops were trapped on the Yorktown peninsula. George Washington's army held the high ground that kept the British pinned back against the sea. The British Navy was on its way from the New York harbor to give the British ground troops an escape route. It was an effort that proved too late for their army at Yorktown and too late for the British Navy to do anything to help. This was because the French Navy was strategically placed to cut off the British Navy's attempt to rescue its troops in Yorktown. The British general at Yorktown saw the futility of any further resistance and surrendered to Washington's forces.
