The Battle of Brandywine took place because General Washington learned that the British were disembarking thousands of troops who planned to take Baltimore and Philadelphia. Washington thought that by defending the high ground along the Brandywine River, he could stop or even defeat the British. However, the British strategy was better and the Americans lost badly.
