During the winter at Valley Forge from 1777 to 1778, approximately 2,500 of George Washington's men died due to harsh conditions, disease, and lack of supplies. The camp faced severe cold, inadequate shelter, and limited food, which contributed significantly to the mortality rate. Despite these hardships, the winter served as a turning point for the Continental Army, ultimately strengthening their resolve and training.

There was no war at Valley Forge. Forge was the winter camp of the American forces. 2500 men died of disease, but for the most part the conditions were fairly good. They had warm cabins, plenty of food, and the officers wives were there, including Mrs. Washington.
valley forge was not a battle, it was the winter encampment for the continental army.
The winter at valley forge was very harsh. It was super cold. Many soldiers died. The soldiers that survived became better soldiers under the commands of some guy ( I dont remember who, though).
