You have the answer in your question. It was the battle of Yorktown.
The key event that led to the Patriots' defeat of the British at Yorktown was the naval battle that preceded it. In the Battle of the Chesapeake, a French navy met, defeated, and drove off the English fleet that was attempting to cover and supply the British army on land at Yorktown. With the British now trapped in their positions without hope of being supplied, the victory at Yorktown was all but assured.
