Following the British surrender in Yorktown, Virginia, King George III wanted to continue the war. Great Britain stopped the Revolutionary War because William Pitt the Younger stood up in Parliament. He had large diagrams showing how much money the war was costing Great Britain and how much money Great Britain could possibly collect in taxes from the colonies. His figures showed that no way existed Great Britain could collect the taxes necessary to keep an Army in America. After listening to Pitt's speech, Parliament voted to withhold funds to continue the war. Without funds to pay for another army, Great Britain did not send over another army but signed a peace agreement.
