The battle of the White Plains occurred in New York and New Jersey on October 28, 1776. The cause of it was the revolutionary war with British General Howe and his troops attempting to take land from the American Colonies General Washington and his troops. The effect was that General Washington did not have the hill secure enough and General Howe was able to take over it and force General Washington to retreat.

the purpose of the white plains battle was simply a terriotory issue. Gen.Howe wanted all of New York and New Jersey so he fought Gen. Washington for it. So the main point and answer is that both Howe adn Washington wanted the same land and they fought over it. HOPE IT HELPS(:
