After the Patriot victory at Yorktown (Virginia) in 1781, the British decided to bring the Revolutionary War to an end. While several small skirmishes between Americans and British, as well as various debates among British leaders, would take place before ratification of a formal treaty, the fundamental decision to make terms with the "rebels" in America was made by the British after their crushing defeat at Yorktown.
