The Battle of ___ forced the British to surrender, ending the Revolutionary War

Answer:

Yorktown

<h2>What made the Battle of Yorktown significant?</h2>

There were three British armies in the US at the time. One was in New York, an island that the British Navy had protected from invasion. The French declaration of war had greatly aided the Continental Army's pursuit of them there in 1778, which prevented them from landing nearby.

Georgia and South Carolina each had the southern garrison force. The southern Continental Army had recently engaged in two engagements and a siege. All of them were won by the British, but only after they had stripped the garrisons of their weapons and supplies while the local militias had destroyed the garrisons (as planned). The "victorious" British discovered that they only held<em> Charleston </em>and <em>Savannah</em>, both of which were under siege.

The last mobile army the British possessed was in action, essentially frightening the countryside and inflaming the already hostile local populace. Cooperation between the US and France had always ended in failure, but at<em> Yorktown,</em> the French more than made up for it by contributing two fleets and the majority of the troops.

The British had no mobile forces after <em>Yorktown</em>, and in fact, the garrisons in <em>Savannah</em> and <em>Charleston</em> were evacuated by ship to support New York. George Hanover wanted to continue the struggle and enlist more soldiers, but nobody else in government was that dim. It was obvious that the<em> best </em>course of action was to work out a separate peace with the US before defeating the <em>French, Spanish, and Dutch</em>. that they did.

Thank you,

Eddie

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. During the Crusades, Muslim forces repeatedly attacked the Christian ______
user100 [1]

Answer:

Muslim forces repeatedly attacked the Christian Byzantine Empire.

In 1453, Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Empire. The city was renamed Istanbul

Explanation:

The crusades were arguably started because of the constant attacks of the Muslim forces on the Byzantine Empire. The Byzantine Empire is the medieval version of the Eastern Roman Empire, and as explained in the question, it was a christian state.

In 1453, after a long siege, the Seljuk Turks conquered Constantinople, which had been the Eastern Roman Empire for over 1,000 years. After the conquest, the Turks changed the name of the city to Istanbul.
