The first was the assembly of a large and well-led army, a mixture of American and French forces that outnumbered and outmaneuvered the British force led by Lord Cornwallis. The second was an important naval victory by a French fleet over a British fleet that resulted in the isolation of the British land-force and the severing of its supply line.
