The Battle of Bunker Hill started when the colonists learned about the British plan to occupy Dorchester Heights. The colonists were understandably shaken by this news. They thought of this as the last straw, and they had to protect their land and freedom.
Answer by JazzHarper. Confidence votes 8.8K. The result of the Battle of Bunker Hill was a victory for the British, in that they captured their objective. However, the British casualties amounted to a third of their forces and they were unable to put an end to the Siege of Boston.ecause most of the fighting did not occur on Bunker Hill itself, the conflict is sometimes more accurately (though less often) called the Battle of Breed's Hill. The result was a victory for the British; however, they suffered their greatest losses of the entire war: over 800 wounded and 228 killed.
