Victory at which battle convinced the French to help the Americans

Answer 1

The Battle of Saratoga in 1777 convinced the French to help the Americans during the American Revolutionary War. The American victory at Saratoga was a turning point in the war and demonstrated the potential for American success. The French saw this as an opportunity to weaken their long-standing rival, Great Britain, and recognized the Americans as a legitimate force capable of challenging British control. As a result, the French decided to offer military and financial support to the American cause, forming a formal alliance in 1778.
