December 1777 CE

Washington's army enters winter quarters at Valley Forge on December 19.

Howe, only twenty miles (thirty-two kilometers) away, will make no effort to attack, which critics will observe could have ended the war.

Professional Prussian (German) mercenaries make up over forty-eight percent of the soldiers in both armies.
