The most significant consequence of the battle of Yorktown was the end of the Revolutionary War. The American army and the French navy fenced in British General Cornwallis and his troops, and forced Cornwallis to surrender. His surrender at Yorktown meant the surrender of the entire war to the Americans, and created the country now known as the United States of America.
