Fort+Ticonderoga



The Battle occurred on May 10, 1775 In New York on the south side of Lake Champlain.

The Battle was between the U.S. Colonies and Great Britain.

For the British the commanders were Captain William DeLaPlace and the U.S. was led by Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold to green mountain boys.

100 U.S. Soldiers led the campaign to capture the fort from the British. Most of the soldiers were sleeping and the colonist slipped right through into the officer’s quarters. The Commander of the fort quickly surrendered. After they had taken over the fort they took 100 cannons back to Boston. And one British soldier was captured.

The battle was significant for various reasons. It set up a staging area for other attacks including the takeover of the invasion of Quebec. And in capturing the fort they brought back 100 cannons to Boston to turn on the British. It also stopped the British from going down the Hudson River which stopped the British from dividing New England from the colonies. Web
