The patriot victory that effectively ended the American War of Independence was the Siege of Yorktown in 1781. American and French forces, led by General George Washington and General Rochambeau, surrounded British General Cornwallis's troops. The British surrender on October 19, 1781, marked a decisive turning point, leading to negotiations that ultimately resulted in the Treaty of Paris in 1783, formally recognizing American independence.
