The Battle of Yorktown, also called the Siege of Yorktown, fought from October 6–20, 1781.[1] It is considered the last major land battle of the American Revolutionary War.[1] The Continental Army, led by General George Washington, won a decisive victory against the British Army, led by General Lord Charles Cornwallis.[1] Cornwallis was forced to surrender after being surrounded by Washington's army.[1]

The Americans were assisted by the French, led by the Comte de Rochambeau. The battle took place in Yorktown, Virginia, near the York River. After the French fleet defeated a British fleet, Cornwallis was cut off and had to surrender to the French and the Continental Army. Eventually, it led to the Treaty of Paris in 1783, two years later.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Originating out of a violent civil war, the shogunate was successful because they  used force to rule Japan.

The Shogunate was the form of government that ruled Japan for nearly 700 years. The shogun had de facto power, although Japan has always had an emperor. Together with the Imperial court, the Shogunate formed a parallel power structure, with the Shogun as the military leader alongside the imperial state structure. Over time, the Imperial court would have to relinquish more and more power and the Shogunate would become Japan's most powerful organization.

How has the number of christians in bethlehem changed in recent years?
Greeley [361]
"O Little Town of Bethehem" is a familiar Christmas hymn about the birth of Jesus Christ.  But the number of Christians in Bethlehem itself has been getting littler and littler as the Christian community there and elsewhere in the Middle East and North Africa has faced pressures from Islamist movements.

In 1950, about 85% of Bethlehem's residents were Christian.  By 2016, the Christian presence in Bethlehem had dropped to 12% -- or only about 11,000 persons.
