History of South America

Where did the American forces surrender?

The correct answer is Yorktown.

On October 19, 1781, the British army under the command of General Cornwallis surrendered to the combined French and American forces led by General George Washington at Yorktown, Virginia. This marked the end of major military operations in the American Revolutionary War and led to the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783, which officially recognized the United States as an independent nation.
