1. What was Cornwallis's mistake in battle strategy? 2.Why might reaching a peace treaty have taken so long?

1. He moved troops to Yorktown, Virginia and Washington was able to trap him there in the Battle of Yorktown.

2. The Treaty of Paris took 2 years to confect because it was hard to convince King George III that America would not sign a peace treaty ending the Revolutionary War until that treaty included American independence from Great Britain.

It also took time to work out a deal that all the allies would approve of - the French, the Spanish, and the Dutch, each of whom had their own national interests.

i believe we're not a republic so that is a hard question
