Explanation:

During the Battle of Bunker Hill, colonial forces occupied Breed's Hill. They inflicted heavy casualties on British advancing troops but eventually ran out of gunpowder, forcing them to retreat and abandon the hill, allowing the British to capture it. The British did not win due to more soldiers or better weapons as their losses were high and their arms were comparable to the colonists'.
