The Battles at Lexington and Concord
The Battles at Lexington and Concord were technically the first victory for the Patriots in the war. The British heard that there was a supply of arms and ammunition in Boston so they had gone to the nearby cities of Lexington and Concord but little did they know the Minutemen were waiting. No one is clear who fired the first shot and this is called "The Shot Heard Round' the World". The Minutemen fought hard and eventually caused the Redcoats to retreat. -

The Battle Of Saratoga
The Battle of Saratoga was considered the turning point of the American Revolution. Some factors of it were that the Americans had a big loss at Brandywine and just lost Philadelphia to the Brits. But, good news for the Americans, they broke Burgoyne's army down and captured around 86% of it. -

Siege of Yorktown
This is considered the last battle of the war. It was a complete blockout of the port town that lasted for around a month. The Americans had French assistance and they marched from Williamsburg and put soldiers all around the city so nothing could come in and nothing could go out. Yorktown was a British owned city and this could end bad in many ways like no cure for disease, supply shortage and many more. The actual ending was that the Brits put down their arms and surrendered.
