Washington was not able to win a victory when he needed it. It was only pure luck he won at Trenton and Yorktown. True or false?

Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

The victory of the battle of Trenton and Yorktown did not come from luck but from great strategy.

This battle took place on December 26, 1776, when the continental army led by George Washington crossed the Delaware River and surprised Hesse's soldiers, who were unable to defend themselves. Because the Delaware River was so violent and extremely cold, Hesse's soldiers had no idea anyone could dare to cross the river. For this reason, Washigton has established a strategy to cross the river and strike suddenly. This strategy allowed the victory of Washington and its soldiers.
