As the American Revolutionary as unfolded, it was important for the American rebels to score some military victories against the British forces. In northeastern New York the British had a fort called Fort Ticonderoga. The Americans launched an attack on this British stronghold, and captured it in 1775. The American forces were led by Benedict Arnold and Ethan Allen. As an aside, Arnold was one of the Americans; best generals. He decided to betray the Americans and help the British. Thus his name is now linked with the term "traitor".

It was a battle between the British and American Continental Army. It was fought in Long Island, New York on August 27th, 1776. In the end, the British forced the Americans out of New York, so basically, the British won. Location: Long Island, New York Aka: Battle of Brooklyn Leaders: George Washington-Americans and General Howe-British Outcome: The British drove the Americans away from Brooklyn and out of New York. Significance: Knowing the British were to attack, Washington led his forces to New York City. Howe had 34,000 and 10,000 sailors, and Washington had fewer than 20,000 poorly trained troops and no navy. The Americans had no chance at all. This showed that the British had a strong navy and that this was a big help to them. This also showed though, that the Americans needed to be more trained and organized.
