Explanation:

Cornwallis' final resulted when a powerful Continental force, arriving from three locations, converged simultaneously on British troops at Yorktown. A French fleet arrived from the West Indies and landed troops near Yorktown, while a force led by Lafayette approached from the west. Washington then arrived with his army from New York. Some 16,000 Continentals surrounded 6,600 British troops, who surrendered after a three-week standoff.
