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.
The colony of Georgia was very sparsely populated and the Continental Army lacked the funds and soldiers to protect it, thus, making the British occupation easier. Lt. Colonel Archibald Campbell invaded Georgia in December, 1778 and took Savannah followed by Augusta, leaving the British in control of Georgia.
The British took New York from the Americans.
In 1664 The British ousted the Dutch from Manhattan and renamed the city New York City.
