The American defeat in Brooklyn in August 1776 was primarily caused by a combination of strategic miscalculations and superior British military tactics. General William Howe's forces executed a well-coordinated flanking maneuver that caught the Continental Army off guard, exploiting their lack of experience. Additionally, the Americans were outnumbered and faced logistical challenges, which hindered their ability to effectively organize and respond to the British assault. The loss significantly weakened American morale and control over New York City.
