b) Fort Ticonderoga

The capture of Fort Ticonderoga in 1775 by Ethan Allen’s Green Mountain Boys was a strategic triumph for the American Revolution. This daring and surprise attack on the British-held fort in upstate New York yielded a significant cache of artillery. The fort’s cannons were later transported to Boston, playing a vital role in breaking the British siege. The capture of Ticonderoga served as a morale booster for the revolutionary cause and demonstrated the effectiveness of insurgent tactics against a more powerful enemy.
