In 1781, Lord Cornwallis surrendered his army to George Washington at Yorktown. Over the next two years, British and Allied diplomats were locked in negotiations over the fate of the belleaguered but not beaten British Empire. Allied diplomats, despite the initial advantages derived from Yorktown, soon found themselves on the backfoot as British naval strength revived, and the prospect of bankruptcy drew ever nearer.

This video aims to be a short documentary charting the negotiations that ended the American Revolutionary War.
