To solve this problem, we need to put the events of the American Revolution in the correct chronological order. Let’s go step by step and look at when each battle happened:
1.
Battle of Lexington and Concord – This was the first battle of the war, on April 19, 1775. It’s where “the shot heard round the world” was fired.
2.
Battle of Bunker Hill – Happened on June 17, 1775. Even though it was called Bunker Hill, most fighting was on Breed’s Hill. It was early in the war but after Lexington and Concord.
3.
First Battle of Fort Ticonderoga – Took place on May 10, 1775. Wait — that’s actually *before* Bunker Hill! So let’s double-check: Yes, Fort Ticonderoga was captured very early, right after Lexington and Concord.
Correction: Actually, the First Battle of Fort Ticonderoga was May 10, 1775 — so it comes after Lexington/Concord (April 1775) but before Bunker Hill (June 1775).
4.
Battle of Brooklyn – Also known as the Battle of Long Island, happened in August 1776. That’s later — during the New York campaign.
5.
Battle of Yorktown – The last major battle, in October 1781. This is where Cornwallis surrendered, effectively ending the war.
So now let’s list them in order from first to last:
- First: Battle of Lexington and Concord (April 1775)
- Second: First Battle of Fort Ticonderoga (May 1775)
- Third: Battle of Bunker Hill (June 1775)
- Fourth: Battle of Brooklyn (August 1776)
- Last: Battle of Yorktown (October 1781)
Wait — let me verify once more with reliable historical dates:
✔ Lexington and Concord: April 19, 1775
✔ Fort Ticonderoga: May 10, 1775
✔ Bunker Hill: June 17, 1775
✔ Brooklyn: August 27–29, 1776
✔ Yorktown: September 28 – October 19, 1781
Yes, that’s correct.
Final Answer:
First: Battle of Lexington and Concord
Second: First Battle of Fort Ticonderoga
Third: Battle of Bunker Hill
Fourth: Battle of Brooklyn
Last: Battle of Yorktown
