Correct answer: It convinced France to join the war as an ally to the Americans.
Why: British General John Burgoyne’s surrender at Saratoga (October 1777) was a decisive American victory that proved the Revolution could succeed. That victory persuaded France to recognize the United States and enter the war in 1778 with military aid, supplies, money, and a navy — turning the conflict into a wider international war. It did not end the war, nor did it give Britain control of the Hudson River (Britain’s plan to split the colonies via the Hudson failed).
