Question

1. what effect did the british defeat at yorktown have on great britain? a. britain sent more troops to the colonies b. britain won several more battles c. britain began peace talks and stopped fighting d. britain gained more support for the war

Explanation:

The British defeat at Yorktown (1781) in the American Revolutionary War was a decisive loss. After this, continuing the war was costly and unlikely to succeed. So Britain began peace talks (leading to the Treaty of Paris 1783) and stopped major fighting. Option A is wrong as they didn't send more troops. Option B is wrong as they didn't win more battles after Yorktown. Option D is wrong as support for the war decreased in Britain after the defeat.

Answer:

C. Britain began peace talks and stopped fighting
