The surrender at Yorktown, which took place in October 1781, marked a decisive victory for the American Continental Army and their French allies during the American Revolutionary War. British General Cornwallis, besieged by American and French forces led by General George Washington, was forced to surrender his troops after being cut off from reinforcements and supplies. This defeat effectively ended major combat operations in the war and paved the way for negotiations that ultimately led to American independence. The surrender is often seen as the turning point that shifted the momentum in favor of the American revolutionaries.
