The Battle of Bunker Hill By Nasir The Battle of Bunker Hill took place on July 17th, 1775 at Breed's Hill. When they named the battle they mistook Breed's Hill for nearby Bunker Hill. They realized, later, their mistake but chose not to rename the battle. The two sides which fought were the untrained, patriot, colonists and professional British troops.

The strategy the patriots used was to surround and trap the Redcoats so they had no way to escape. The British were trapped, but they still fought back. Unfortunately, the patriots plan backfired. They had run out of ammunition. They could no longer block the Redcoats' blows.

The reason the patriots chose to fight in the first place was to keep the British from fleeing after the Battle of Lexington and Concord. There was approximately 400 patriot casualties and about 1,000 British casualties!

Though there were more British deaths that colonist deaths, the Redcoats still had victory over the battle, and Breed's Hill was England. But, that didn't do much good to England anyways because they had many other losses of their own.
