George Washington - London sent British troops to occupy Boston

Time: 1775

Place: Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.

Details: Early in 1775, in response to the growing rebellious movement, London sent British troops, commanded by General Thomas Gage, to occupy Boston. They set up fortifications about the city, making it impervious to attack. Various local militias surrounded the city and effectively trapped the British, resulting in a standoff.
