Valley Forge was primarily a result of the Continental Army's need for winter quarters during the harsh winter of 1777-1778. After suffering significant losses in battles, including the defeat at Germantown, General George Washington chose Valley Forge for its strategic location near Philadelphia, where British forces were stationed. The army faced severe hardships, including food shortages, inadequate shelter, and exposure to extreme cold, leading to high rates of disease and suffering among the troops. Despite these challenges, the winter at Valley Forge ultimately became a turning point, as the army emerged better trained and more unified.
