In 1778, the British captured the city of Savannah, Georgia, during the American Revolutionary War. This strategic victory allowed the British to control a vital port and strengthen their position in the southern colonies. The siege of Savannah involved a coordinated effort by British forces and was part of their broader campaign to regain control over the southern states. The city remained under British control until 1782.
