How are Lord Cornwallis French Fleet and Yorktown related?

Lord Cornwallis was a British general during the American Revolutionary War who commanded the British forces at the Siege of Yorktown. The French fleet, under Admiral de Grasse, played a crucial role in the battle by blocking British naval reinforcements and supplying the American and French troops besieging Cornwallis's forces. This strategic naval support was pivotal in leading to Cornwallis's surrender on October 19, 1781, effectively marking the end of major hostilities in the war. Thus, the French fleet directly contributed to the defeat of Cornwallis at Yorktown.
