The Battle of Red Bank was a battle fought on October 22, 1777 during the American Revolutionary War in which a British and Hessian force was sent to take Fort Mercer on the left bank (or New Jersey side) of the Delaware River just south of Philadelphia, but was decisively defeated by a far inferior force of Colonial defenders. Although the British did take Fort Mercer a month later, the victory supplied a sorely-needed morale boost to the American cause, delayed British plans to consolidate gains in Philadelphia, and relieved pressure on General George Washington's army to the north of the city.

  • La bataille de Red Bank se déroula le 22 octobre 1777 pendant la guerre d'indépendance des États-Unis lors de laquelle une force de Hesse a été envoyée pour prendre sur la rive gauche du fleuve Delaware au sud de Philadelphie, mais a été décisivement défaite par une force américaine pourtant en infériorité numérique. Bien que les Britanniques parviennent à prendre Fort Mercer un mois plus tard, la victoire a augmenté le moral des Américains et a retardé les plans britanniques visant à consolider leurs gains à Philadelphie, soulageant la pression subie par l'armée du Général Washington au nord de la ville.

  • レッドバンクの戦い(レッドバンクのたたかい、英: Battle of Red Bank)は、アメリカ独立戦争の1777年10月22日、フィラデルフィア市からは南、デラウェア川左岸(ニュージャージー側)にあったマーサー砦を奪取するために派遣されたイギリス軍ドイツ傭兵部隊が、アメリカ植民地側守備隊に大敗を喫した戦闘である。この勝利でアメリカ側が是非とも必要としていた士気が高揚された。イギリス軍はこの1か月後にマーサー砦を占領したが、フィラデルフィア市の占領を確固たるものにしようとしていたその作戦を遅らせられた。またフィラデルフィア市の北にいたジョージ・ワシントン将軍の軍隊に対する圧力も下げさせることになった。 (ja)
