AKA Battle of Long Island, New York began during th Revolutionary War as over whelming British attacked Americans in force; the silver lining is that the brave rear guard were able to hold until General Washington could withdraw and save the main body by evacuating his troops across the East River.

Nota Bene:

This near miraculous save was equivalent, in modern times, to Dunkirk Evacuation.
