Great Britain gained control of Manhattan during the American Revolutionary War through a series of military engagements. In 1776, British forces, under General William Howe, launched a successful campaign to capture New York City, culminating in the Battle of Brooklyn. The British fleet's naval superiority and well-coordinated ground troops overwhelmed the Continental Army, leading to the British occupation of Manhattan, which they held for most of the war. The strategic location of Manhattan allowed the British to maintain a stronghold in the region throughout the conflict.
