The Siege of Fort Stanwix ended on August 22, 1777.
 When considering the plans of Crown Prince Wilhelm, purely concerned with taking the citadel and not with French casualty figures, it can be considered a true siege
Most standoffs are much shorter than traditional military sieges, often lasting mere hours or days at most, though lengthy sieges may still occur, albeit rarely, such as the 51-day-long 1993 Waco siege
