Cornwallis's retreat to Yorktown, Virginia, rather than a more strategic location, was a critical mistake because it left his forces trapped by both American and French troops. The geographical position of Yorktown made it difficult for him to receive reinforcements or supplies, ultimately leading to his siege. This decision culminated in Cornwallis's surrender in October 1781, effectively turning the tide of the American Revolutionary War in favor of the colonists.
