Valley Forge was the winter encampment of the Continental Army from 19 December 1777 until 18 June 1778, during one of the most difficult winters of the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783). Despite being undersupplied, underfed, and plagued with disease, the Continental Army underwent significant training and reorganization at Valley Forge, emerging as a much more disciplined and effective fighting force. * * * _This is a companion discussion topic for the original definition at [https://www.worldhistory.org/Valley\_Forge/](https://www.worldhistory.org/Valley_Forge/)._ * * * **Join the Conversation** - What would you like to know more about? - Which part did you find most interesting, and why? - Have you come across a different take on this topic?
