Why did george washington decide to attack the british at yorktown?
Washington was not experienced in bombard-type battles and invasions (siege warfare). He instead went to General Rochambeau of the French Army for advice, and Rochambeau suggested that Yorktown was the better option as it was next to water (The Chesapeake Bay/ Atlantic). This was better as French ships could surround Yorktown and the land forces along with artillery could bombard the city by using fortified trenches. This was a more strategic option rather than attacking a fully armed and fortified New York City where General Clinton's forces took command. This option instead of attacking Yorktown would be disastrous and therefore cause the remaining American forces along with French forces to sustain many casualties.
