The Battle of the Capes, fought on September 5, 1781, was crucial in the American Revolutionary War as it ensured the French navy's control over the Chesapeake Bay, effectively trapping British General Cornwallis's forces in Yorktown. This naval engagement prevented British reinforcements from reaching Cornwallis, leading to his eventual surrender in October 1781. The victory marked a significant turning point, bolstering American morale and securing French support for the American cause. Ultimately, it paved the way for the eventual end of British colonial rule in the United States.
