War-Battle of Long Island (Revolution)
The Battle of Long Island, also known as the Battle of Brooklyn or the Battle of Brooklyn Heights, fought on August 27, 1776, was the first major battle in the American Revolutionary War following the United States Declaration of Independence, the largest battle of the entire conflict, and the first battle in which an army of the United States engaged, having declared itself a nation only the month before. General George Washington's American Army was defeated and forced to retreat by the overwhelming numbers and superior training of Major General William Howe's combined army of British Redcoat Regulars and German Hessians.
