During the American Revolutionary War, the 1777 defeat of the British at Saratoga (through a succession of battles) was important for two reasons. First, it secured the northern border of the colonies against British excursions. Second, it convinced European powers, particularly France, to show formal (and significant) support for the Americans. European support led directly to American victory in the war as a whole.
The significance of the American victory at the Battle of Saratoga was that the French decided to join forces with the American Colonists. This made the French allies of the Americans against the British.
