George Washington accepted the surrender of the British at the Siege of Yorktown in October 1781. This decisive victory effectively ended the American Revolutionary War, as it marked the last major battle between British forces and American troops. Washington's leadership and strategy were crucial in securing this pivotal moment for American independence.
One British army under General Cornwallis surrendered in 1781 at Yorktown. This did not result in a full surrender by the British. The British Army and Navy continued to hold all of the major seaports until a final treaty was accepted by both sides in 1783.
Americans used guerrilla warfare tactics to drive the British to the coast. The french, although late, prevented the British from retreating to sea, so the British had no choice but to surrender.
The American revolution was a 5 year war between the American colonies and the British. In 1776 the colonies declared independence from Britain and this resulted in the revolution. Washington was commander of American troops and in 1789 he became the first president after the constitution was written.
