Best Answer

The victory at Yorktown in 1781 was the decisive moment of the American Revolution. Lord Cornwallis, under siege from George Washington's Continental Army, was forced to surrender his position after the French Navy blocked his evacuation by sea. After the surrender, the 13 Colonies entered into negotations with England, eventually leading to official Independence in 1783.

Basically, Yorktown allowed the US to become a country.
