Description

recently I made a poll, asking my watchers what battle i should make, and my watchers voted bunker hill, so here you go :) 

The battle of bunker hill was fought on june the 17, 1775 between The american colonial militia and the british empire. in the weeks leading to the battle, the colonial troops had besiges the british controlled city of boston and when hearing of the arrival of british reinforcements they sent 1200 men to Bunker Hill and Breed's Hill as a responce to prevent the british trops from taking control of the harbour. when the british heard of the colonials move to bunker and breed's hill, they imediately attacked the colonial troops ocupying the hills. The colonial troops were able to hold of 2 waves of british troops but on the third wave the colonials were pushed back after running out of ammunition. 
Though the british won the battle, they won it at a terrible cost, suffering over 1000 casualties. The battle of bunker hill became proof that the american colonial could and did, match the military superior british forces. a military victory for the british, a morale victory for the americans.
