The three groups that would meet for the attack at Yorktown were the Continental Army, led by General George Washington; the French forces, commanded by General Rochambeau; and the French naval fleet under Admiral de Grasse. Their coordinated efforts in 1781 effectively besieged British General Cornwallis's forces, leading to a decisive victory. This collaboration was crucial in securing American independence.

How did Washington plan to conquer the British at Yorktown?

Washington wanted to get the British out of New York City but the recently arrived French Commander, Comte de Rochambeau, had to get his fleet to the carribean by October so he convinced Washington that it would be easier for the French Fleet to assist in the attack further south where Cornwallis was in Yorktown with 9000 British soldiers, where he had fewer soldiers than the occupation of New York City. The plan was for the French Commander to defeat the British fleet at the battle of Chesapeake (which succeeded in early September) and thus blocked any escape by sea for Cornwallis. Washington sent the French General Lafayette to contain Cornwallis until he and his forces could arrive (which he did). So the combined attack at Yorktown by land and by sea left no choice for Cornwallis but to surrender.

Why did george washington decide to attack the british at yorktown?

Washington was not experienced in bombard-type battles and invasions (siege warfare). He instead went to General Rochambeau of the French Army for advice, and Rochambeau suggested that Yorktown was the better option as it was next to water (The Chesapeake Bay/ Atlantic). This was better as French ships could surround Yorktown and the land forces along with artillery could bombard the city by using fortified trenches. This was a more strategic option rather than attacking a fully armed and fortified New York City where General Clinton's forces took command. This option instead of attacking Yorktown would be disastrous and therefore cause the remaining American forces along with French forces to sustain many casualties.
