Gettysburg, which ended his hopes of invading the North.

Petersburg, the long siege conducted by Grant, who was now General-in-Chief of the Union armies, and had ended the system of prisoner exchange, so that the Confederates were bound to run out of men first.

What two battles proved to be the undoing of Lee's attempt to protect Richmond in the later days of the Civil War?

The two battles that proved to be pivotal in undermining General Robert E. Lee's efforts to protect Richmond were the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863 and the Siege of Petersburg, which began in June 1864. The defeat at Gettysburg marked a significant turning point in the war, as it halted Lee's invasion of the North and diminished Confederate morale. Meanwhile, the prolonged Siege of Petersburg ultimately stretched Lee's resources thin, leading to the fall of Richmond in April 1865, which marked the beginning of the end for the Confederacy.
