Battle of Bunker Hill

The Battle of Bunker Hill took place on June 17, 1775, during the American Revolutionary War. It was primarily fought on Breed's Hill, near Boston. Despite being a tactical victory for the British, who captured the hill, they suffered heavy casualties due to strong resistance from colonial militias. The Americans, although ultimately driven back, proved they could stand up to the British army, boosting morale for the revolutionary cause. This battle highlighted the intensity of the conflict and marked a significant early confrontation in the struggle for American independence.
