American Commander:
General Israel Putnam

British Commander:
General William Howe

On June 13th, 1775, the British sent 2,400 troops to Bunker and Breed's Hill to capture in their attempt to capture Boston. Word of this comes over to the colonial leaders. They sent 2,000 soldiers to Bunker and Breed's Hill to try to fend them off.

The British arrived on June 17th, 1775 for the capture, but it now holds 2,000 colonial troops.

General Howe sends an assault to engage the colonials. The British soldiers, find it difficult to get up the mountain thanks to the hot sun. It was so hot, and those coats were so wintery, that some of the soldiers died of heat stroke on the way up. to make things worse for the British, the colonials use powerful ammunition on them, resulting in many British casualties and forcing them back down the hill.

Howe sends another assault to attack the colonial. The same exact thing happens again. Many die from both from the ammunition and heat strokes. The British are forced back down the hill.

Howe sends yet another assault to attack the colonials. The weather was still hot, but this time, the colonials ran out of ammo and resorted to throwing their heavy supplies at the British. This time, the British were able to send the colonials into retreat.

Even though Bunker Hill was a British victory, 226 of their soldiers were killed and 826 were wounded, while 140 colonists were killed, 271 were wounded, and 30 were captured.
