At the Battle of Yorktown, which general was forced to surrender?

The Battle of Yorktown, which took place in 1781, marked a significant victory for the American forces in the Revolutionary War. At this decisive battle, General Cornwallis, the British commander, was forced to surrender after a prolonged siege led by General George Washington and his French allies. The successful encirclement and blockade meant that Cornwallis could not escape or receive reinforcements, ultimately leading to his capitulation. This surrender effectively ended major military operations in the colonies and paved the way for the American victory in the war, confirming Cornwallis as the one who conceded.

George Washington was the American general leading the siege, while General Clinton was a British commander who had not engaged effectively at Yorktown, and General Arnold was a traitor who had switched allegiance to the British but was not involved in the surrender at Yorktown.
