The Americans won at Yorktown (Virginia) in 1781 due to several key factors. For one thing, they were expertly led by General George Washington, who enjoyed the vital support of a large and well-trained French force. For another thing, a French Fleet had defeated the British naval force that was attempting to supply the British land-force opposing General Washington and his army; thus, that land-force was soon surrounded, unsupplied, and left with no adequate retreat-route.
