The Siege of Boston, which lasted from April 1775 to March 1776, ended with the successful evacuation of British forces from the city. Following the Continental Army's strategic positioning of artillery on Dorchester Heights, the British, led by General William Howe, recognized their untenable position and withdrew their troops from Boston on March 17, 1776. This victory bolstered American morale and marked a significant early triumph for the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War.

The Battle of Bunker Hill -- actually fought on Breeds Hill -- took place on June 17, 1775, as part of the Siege of Boston during the American Revolution. The eventual outcome was a pyrric victory for the British who suffered their greatest losses of the Revolutionary War. The Americans had to abandon their positions after they ran out of ammunition but the British "victory" did nothing to lift the siege, which continued until St. Patrick's Day in 1776, when the British withdrew from Boston.
