The Battle of Trenton – Washington’s Daring Gamble That Saved the Revolution

Описание: In December 1776, the American Revolution stood on the brink of collapse. Washington’s Continental Army was battered, morale was low, and many believed the fight for independence was already lost. Then came a bold plan—one that would forever change history.

On Christmas night, 1776, George Washington led 2,400 soldiers across the icy Delaware River in a daring nighttime crossing. After marching through snow and ice, the weary Continental Army launched a surprise attack on the Hessian garrison at Trenton, New Jersey.

What followed was one of the most famous victories of the Revolution:
