With General George Washington leading American forces and French allies providing crucial naval and military support, the siege trapped British General Cornwallis, forcing him to surrender. But how did the battle unfold? What strategies ensured victory? And what role did figures like Lafayette and Rochambeau play? In this episode, we dive into the dramatic final battle of the Revolution, the key decisions that led to British defeat, and how Yorktown changed the course of history, setting the stage for American independence.\n
