Explanation:

The Battle of Saratoga was a major battle during the American War of Independence, which took place in the fall of 1777. The battle took place in Saratoga County in New York. It was rather a succession of skirmishes, the most important of which were the Battle of Freeman's Farm on September 19, 1777 and the Battle of Bemis Heights on October 7, 1777. The Americans were led by Horatio Gates and the British by John Burgoyne. After the Battle of Bemis Heights, Burgoyne surrendered on 17 October 1777. The Americans captured nearly 6,000 soldiers (British but also hired troops from Hesse and Brunswijk). The battle is considered a turning point in the revolution. Afterwards, France decided to recognize the United States and join it in the war, providing both men and resources.
