are increased casualties due to disease and starvation battle of Saratoga, winter of Valley Forge, or battle of Yorktown?

Answer 1

Increased casualties due to disease and starvation would most likely have occurred during the winter at Valley Forge. The harsh conditions and lack of supplies at Valley Forge led to significant suffering and casualties among the American troops. The Battle of Saratoga and the Battle of Yorktown were more focused on military engagements rather than prolonged periods of hardship and deprivation.
