Answer:

The correct answer is "Yorktown’s location on a peninsula".

Step-by-step explanation:

On 1781, as part of the American Revolution, General George Washington commanded a force of 17,000 French and Continental troops at Yorktown, in what is known as the Battle of Yorktown. The siege that George Washington achieved was achieved greatly because of Yorktown's location on a peninsula, because most of Washington's forces entered by ships and flotillas.
