During the American Revolutionary War, the American victory at Yorktown (Virginia) in 1781 resulted in the end of the war because of the significant British losses in that battle. Losing over 7,000 soldiers after also having their fleet routed, the British reckoned that the war had become too costly; to continue it (let alone pursue final victory in it) was simply not affordable.

Which battle led to the victory of the Patriot forces in the Revolutionary War?
The Battle of Yorktown sealed the deal as far as which side won the war, even though it did not end the war. Some sea and land skirmishes continued for awhile after Yorktown. The new British commander did not order a cease fire till some months after that and the war was not over till the Treaty of Paris was signed about a year after Yorktown. the battle of york town
What was the site of the last significant battle of the American revolution?
In 1781, it was the coastal settlement of Yorktown, Virginia, that served as the site of the American Revolution's final major battle, which culminated in the surrender (by Lord Cornwallis) of a sizeable British military force and ultimately led to the end of the war. Minor fighting continued after this American victory, however, and a final peace was not agreed-upon until two years later.
