The Battle of Saratoga

  In the American revolution, many battles made a difference for America. In each one of them many soldiers died, but victories were achieved. One of the most greatest battles that change entirely the war was the battle of Saratoga. The Battle of Saratoga was basically the Turing point of the whole Revolutionary War. This was the battle that gave so much hope for the patriots. This was the battle that practically made everyone believe that Britain would loose the war.  

  So it started out with General John Burgoyne was in Saratoga. The thing that changed was that he later found himself trapped in there because of the patriots. There was later a battle here because of this and it was called the Battle Of Saratoga on October 1777. This was the greatest victory that the patriots had. The thing was that because of this victory other countries wanted to help them win the war. France and Spain were the most important ones.

  The Battle of Saratoga made France realize that this was a true war so then they decided to enter and get into the war. There was even a man who's name was Marquis de Lafayette and he trained the patriots. He would give tactics and strategies which were good. Finally on February 1778 they were officially an alliance. Now the power in each side of the war was more equal. The British became very weak when Spain entered the war as well as an ally of France.
