Detailed explanation-1: -Battle of Bunker Hill, also called Battle of Breed’s Hill, (June 17, 1775), first major battle of the American Revolution, fought in Charlestown (now part of Boston) during the Siege of Boston.
Detailed explanation-2: -The American patriots were defeated at the Battle of Bunker Hill, but they proved they could hold their own against the superior British Army. The fierce fight confirmed that any reconciliation between England and her American colonies was no longer possible.
Detailed explanation-3: -There were two hills that the British wanted to take in order to be able to bombard the Americans from a distance. These were Breed’s Hill and Bunker Hill. The Battle of Bunker Hill actually took place mostly on Breed’s Hill. It’s only called the Battle of Bunker Hill because the army thought they were on Bunker Hill.
