This question probably speaks about the final major battle of the American Revolutionary War. In that case, Yorktown was a battle where American troops had cornered British troops on the peninsula of Yorktown. The French navy blocked any sea escape and the troops of George Washington prevented a frontal assault . It's a turning point, a major turning point in world history because the end result was the United States. A step forward towards democratic governments.
