The American Revolution had many important events. Name one.

The Battle of Bunker Hill was an early major fight in 1775 near Boston. The British won the ground, but they suffered heavy losses, which showed the colonists could stand up to a professional army.

In 1776, leaders of the 13 colonies approved a document that said they were breaking away from Great Britain. It explained their reasons and introduced important ideas about rights and government. This became a key turning point in the Revolution.

In late 1776, George Washington led his troops across the icy Delaware River to surprise British and Hessian soldiers at Trenton. The victory boosted American morale after earlier defeats and helped keep the revolution going.

The Battle of Saratoga was fought in 1777 in upstate New York and became a major turning point in the war. The American victory helped convince France to join and support the United States with money, troops, and supplies.

Valley Forge was the winter camp where George Washington’s army stayed in 1777–1778. The soldiers faced cold weather and shortages, but they trained and became stronger as a fighting force. It is remembered as a turning point in building the Continental Army.

The fighting at Yorktown in 1781 was a major turning point because American and French forces trapped a British army in Virginia. When the British surrendered there, it effectively ended major combat and pushed Britain toward peace talks.
