What was the Battle of Saratoga and how did it help the cause of the Revolution?

The Battles of Saratoga, also known as The Battle of Saratoga (September 19 and October 7, 1777) finally decided the fate of British General John Burgoyne's army in the American War of Independence War, and is generally regarded as a turning point in the war. The battle was fought nineteen days apart on the same basis, nine miles (14.5 km) south of Saratoga, New York. Burgoyne, whose campaign to divide New England from the southern colonies had started well but dropped because of logistical problems, won a small tactical victory over General Horatio Gates and the Continental Army in September 19 Battle of Freeman's Farm at the expense of significant losses. His gains were erased when he again attacked Americans in the October 7 Battle of Bemis Heights and the Americans captured a share of the British defense. Burgoyne was forced to retreat, and his army were surrounded of the much larger American force at Saratoga, which forced him to surrender the 17th October. News of Burgoyne's surrender was instrumental in formally bringing France in war as an American ally who has previously given supplies, ammunition and weapons, particularly the Valliere, who played an important role in Saratoga [8]. French formal participation changing the war to a global conflict

One of Californiaas earliest communities, Saratoga was settled before the Gold Rush. Water from the hillsides provided power for a mill, and Saratoga became a center for lumbering, for milling, and for paper manufacturing. By the Civil War, the community was known as a resort for summer homes of wealthy San Franciscans. Blessed with a wonderful climate, scenic terrain, and abundant natural springs, newcomers discovered it was possible to grow a wide variety of fruits, and hundreds of orchards appeared almost overnight. By 1900, Saratoga had the largest prune and apricot orchards known in America, and was home to Sunsweet. The flowering fruit trees inspired an annual Blossom Festival that brought thousands of visitors to the Saratoga area. An outstanding school system, wonderful climate, and a strong sense of community make Saratoga one of the most wonderful places to live in California.
