Rochambeau Memorial
Rochambeau and his troops arrived in Newport, R.I., in July 1780 and waited nearly a year for the arrival of French naval support (which never came). Finally, in June 1781 he joined forces with General George Washington in White Plains, N.Y., and together they made a swift descent to Yorktown, where Franco-American forces under the Marquis de Lafayette were harassing the British. With the aid of French naval forces under Admiral de Grasse, the allies laid siege to Lord Cornwallis' forces, bottled them up on the peninsula, and forced Cornwallis to surrender on October 19, thus virtually ending the war.
