The Battle of Dinwiddie Court House was fought on March 31, 1865, during the American Civil War at the end of the Richmond-Petersburg Campaign and in the beginning stage of the Appomattox Campaign. Along with the Battle of White Oak Road which was fought simultaneously on March 31, the battle involved the last offensive action by General Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army of Northern Virginia attempting to stop the progress of Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant's Union Army (Army of the Potomac, Army of the Shenandoah and Army of the James). Grant's forces were moving to cut the remaining Confederate supply lines and to force the Confederates to extend their defensive lines at Petersburg, Virginia and Richmond, Virginia to the breaking point, if not to force them into a decisive open field

  • ディンウィディ・コートハウスの戦い(ディンウィディ・コートハウスのたたかい、英: Battle of Dinwiddie Court House)は、南北戦争も最終盤となった1865年3月31日に、バージニア州ディンウィディ郡で起きた戦闘である。リッチモンド・ピータースバーグ方面作戦の終わりからアポマトックス方面作戦の始まる時期に当たっていた。同じ3月31日に起きたホワイトオーク道路の戦いと共に、ロバート・E・リー将軍の指揮する南軍北バージニア軍による最後の攻勢であり、ユリシーズ・グラント中将が指揮する北軍(ポトマック軍、シェナンドー軍、ジェームズ軍)の進軍を止めようとした。グラント軍は、南軍に残っていた供給線を遮断し、南軍を会戦に引き出して決戦を挑ませることができないまでも、ピーターズバーグからリッチモンドまで構築された防衛前線をさらにその極限まで延伸させるように動いていた。 (ja)
  • De Slag bij Dinwiddie Court House was een schermutseling in de Appomattox-veldtocht die voorafging aan de Slag bij Five Forks. Op 29 maart 1865 had generaal Philip H. Sheridan het bevel ontvangen om met het , het en het cavaleriekorps de rechterflank van Robert E. Lee's verdedigingslinie bij Petersburg aan te vallen. De opmars werd vertraagd door zware regenval, waardoor de wegen in modderpoelen veranderden. Op 31 maart stootte de Noordelijke voorhoede op de Zuidelijke cavalerie onder leiding van generaal-majoor William Henry Fitzhugh Lee. Deze werd ondersteund door infanterie onder leiding van George Pickett. Sheridan's eenheden werden terug gedrongen in een linie rond het stadje Dinwiddie Court House. Dit vertraagde de opmars van Sheridan aanzienlijk. Toch was er nog hoop. Noordelijke v (nl)
