The continental army learned that the British planned to occupy the unoccupyed hills(Breeds Hill and Bunker Hill) that surrounded the city Boston.
They had the battle of bunker hill because the British didn't want the Americans to follow their own religion but it happened when the Americans built a fort on top of a hill for cover and if the British got it then they would have their cannons. Actually the battle was fought on breeds hill.
They tried 3 times and succeeded on the third try.
Yes, that is why there was a battle. The British wanted the "hill" and a group of Americans had it. They stood their ground so there was a battle. The importance of the hill was that it overlooked the harbor. Bunker Hill is also known as Breeds Hill.

even though the british won the battle the british had more losses of soldiers and lots of casualties and deaths. so overall the british won but it backfired on them and they had a lot of casualties. that was the effect
Breeds Hill was lower and closer to the harbor.
