Why did george washington decide to attack the british at yorktown?
Washington was not experienced in bombard-type battles and invasions (siege warfare). He instead went to General Rochambeau of the French Army for advice, and Rochambeau suggested that Yorktown was the better option as it was next to water (The Chesapeake Bay/ Atlantic). This was better as French ships could surround Yorktown and the land forces along with artillery could bombard the city by using fortified trenches. This was a more strategic option rather than attacking a fully armed and fortified New York City where General Clinton's forces took command. This option instead of attacking Yorktown would be disastrous and therefore cause the remaining American forces along with French forces to sustain many casualties.
What three groups would meet for the attack at Yorktown?
The three groups that would meet for the attack at Yorktown were the Continental Army, led by General George Washington; the French forces, commanded by General Rochambeau; and the French naval fleet under Admiral de Grasse. Their coordinated efforts in 1781 effectively besieged British General Cornwallis's forces, leading to a decisive victory. This collaboration was crucial in securing American independence.

Why did British won the battle in Yorktown?
George Washington originally thought that an attack on the enemy was best at New York, but was convinced otherwise by Admiral de Grasse. Grasse had written a letter asking Washington to come south where they could launch a joint operation. Washington agreed and began to march his troops down to Yorktown on August 19th. Both Grasse and Washington were convinced that at Yorktown they could bombard the British troops into submission.
