America's victory at Yorktown in 1781 was a pivotal moment in the American Revolution as it effectively ended major military operations between the British and Continental forces. The defeat of British General Cornwallis, who was trapped by American and French forces, marked a decisive turning point that galvanized support for independence both domestically and internationally. This victory led to the negotiation of the Treaty of Paris in 1783, solidifying American independence and establishing the United States as a sovereign nation.
