This battle was lost because Sir William Howe and Colonel Barry St. Leger didn't do was what expected of them. Howe went and found in Philadelphia instead of coming to New York City, and St. Leger was beaten at the Battle of Oriskany.
What british millitary plan did the colonial victory at saratoga ruin?
the plan that Burgoyne would come south and have back up coming east from the lake and Howe would come north it was ruined because the back up were delayed and Howe ignored the plan and went to Philadelphia and Burgoyne underestimated the colonies power by attacking when his men were exhausted of clearing the way.
What role did chance play at the battle of saratoga?
Chance played a significant role at the Battle of Saratoga. British General John Burgoyne's plan relied on a coordinated attack from three different directions, but due to logistical challenges, the timing and coordination of the attacks were disrupted. This allowed American General Horatio Gates to successfully counter the British forces, resulting in a crucial American victory.
Who was to blame for Britain's failure to win a quick victory over the American rebels General Howe General Burgoyne or the ministers in London?
Sir William Howe was an English General who was commander and chief of British forces during the American Revolutionary War. General Howe was blamed for Britain's failure to win a quick victory over the American Rebels. America's victory to independence changed to course of history. Through a victory the battle influenced Howe and crushed his belief that the rebels represent a small part of the American people. Burgoyne proposed a plan for defeating the Americans he had to lead an army south while the second column advances east. This plan was to be advanced by Howe. Instead the plan was approved by Colonial Secretary Lord George Germaine. Howe's role was never clearly defined, and was never issued orders from London to aide Burgoyne. Burgoyne was left on his own, and was defeated in the critical battle of Saratoga. Howe launched his own campaign to capture the American capitol at Philadelphia. In my opinion I do not think it was Howe's fault because it was Burgoyne's plan, and he was the one leading the British to this battle. Although, the plan was never advanced by Howe instead it was approved by Lord Germaine so I think Lord Germaine should hold some of the responsibility for the defeat. Under severe criticism in England for losing to the Americans the king no longer had confidence in Howe. Howe requested to be relieved. Howe received word his resignation had been approved
