Question

What was the last major American victory in the War for Independence?

Answer 1

The last major American victory in the War for Independence was the Siege of Yorktown, which took place from September 28 to October 19, 1781. American and French forces, under the command of General George Washington and General Rochambeau, effectively trapped the British Army commanded by General Cornwallis. The successful siege resulted in Cornwallis's surrender, effectively marking the end of significant military operations in the Revolutionary War and paving the way for the eventual negotiation of peace and American independence.
