Because the British were in America and the Americans didn't want them in their country. A more detailed explanation of why the Battle of Brandy-Wine Creek occured is; an objective was assigned to the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in America, Sir William Howe. The objective was for Howe to capture Philadelphia, which was the capital of the nation and a major supply center. Howe believed, that capturing this supply center would demoralize the Americans, allowing the British army to have an advantageous position over America. The plan that was formulated by Howe is what caused the Battle of Brandy-Wine to occur. America needed this supply center forcing Washington and his army to defend the supply center against Howe and the British army, Thus creating a battle of the British against the Americans that later became known as The Battle of Brandy-Wine Creek.
