Description

La battaglia di Trenton si svolse il 26 dicembre 1776, durante la guerra di indipendenza americana, a Trenton nel New Jersey. Dopo la celebre traversata del fiume Delaware del generale George Washington, il comandante dell'Esercito continentale condusse i suoi uomini contro la guarnigione di Trenton, formata da mercenari assiani. Dopo una breve battaglia, quasi tutti gli assiani furono fatti prigionieri ad un costo di vite americane molto ridotto. La vittoria diede un nuovo significativo slancio al morale dell'Esercito continentale, ispirando nuovi arruolamenti fra le sue linee.

In precedenza, l'Esercito continentale aveva subito numerose sconfitte a New York ed era stato costretto a rifugiarsi in Pennsylvania, attraversando il New Jersey. Il morale dell'esercito era basso; nel tentativo di terminare l'anno positivamente, Washington escogitò un piano per attraversare il fiume Delaware nella notte tra il 25 e il 26 dicembre per sorprendere la guarnigione assiana.
