The Capture of Savannah, or sometimes the First Battle of Savannah (because of the siege of 1779), or the Battle of Brewton Hill, was an American Revolutionary War battle fought on December 29, 1778 pitting local American Patriot militia and Continental Army units, holding the city, against a British invasion force under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Archibald Campbell. The British capture of the city led to an extended occupation and was the opening move in the British southern strategy to regain control of the rebellious Southern provinces by appealing to the relatively strong Loyalist sentiment there.

The British capture of the city led to an extended occupation and was the opening move in the British southern strategy to regain control of the rebellious Southern provinces by appealing to the relatively strong Loyalist sentiment there. (en) La prise de Savannah, parfois désignée sous le nom de première bataille de Savannah (en raison d'un siège en 1779), est une bataille de la guerre d'indépendance des États-Unis qui opposa le 29 décembre 1778 une milice locale de Patriots américains et des unités de l'Armée continentale contrôlant la ville à une force d'invasion britannique sous le commandement du lieutenant-colonel . Il s'agit du premier mouvement de la stratégie britannique dans le Sud visant à reprendre le contrôle des provinces rebelles du Sud en appelant au fort sentiment loyaliste supposé y être présent. (fr) La presa di Savannah o prima battaglia di Savannah fu un episodio del teatro meridionale della guerra d'indipendenza americana svoltosi il 29 dicembre 1778. Il comandante in capo delle truppe britanniche in America del Nord, generale Henry Clinton, inviò via mare da New York una forza di 3.100 uomini agli ordini del tenente colonnello a catturare Savannah, città e porto principale della colonia della Georgia, primo passo della campagna per riportare sotto il controllo del Regno di Gran Bretagna le più meridionali delle Tredici colonie ribellatesi; Savannah era difesa da un miscuglio di regolari dell'Esercito continentale americano e di miliziani locali agli ordini del maggior generale . (it) サバンナ占領（英: Capture of Savannah、または第一次サバンナの戦い）は、アメリカ独立戦争中の1778年12月29日に、ジョージア植民地サバンナ市を守っていたアメリカ軍をイギリス軍が襲い、市を降伏させたものである。アメリカ軍は地元愛国者民兵と大陸軍の部隊が守っていた。イギリス軍はアーチボルド・キャンベル中佐が指揮した。この戦いは、イギリス軍が植民地南部で強いロイヤリスト勢力に訴えることで南部支配を復元するという戦略の最初の動きとなった。ニューヨーク市に本部を置くイギリス軍の北アメリカ総司令官ヘンリー・クリントンは、ニューヨーク市からキャンベル中佐に3,100名を付けて出発させ、ジョージアをイギリス軍の支配下に納める作戦を始めた。東フロリダのセントオーガスティンにもオーガスティン・プレボスト准将の指揮するイギリス軍部隊がおり、これの支援を受けることになっていた。キャンベルは12月23日にサバンナ市近くに上陸し、アメリカ軍の守りが比較的弱いものであることを見極めた後、プレボスト隊を待たずに攻撃を始めることにした。地元支援者からの援助を得たキャンベルは市の郊外にあったアメリカ軍陣地の側面を衝くことに成功し、ロバート・ハウ少将の指揮するアメリカ軍の大半を捕虜にし、捕まえられなかった部隊もサウスカロライナに撤退させた。 (ja)
