it was the major turning point in the war

The timing of the defeat and capture of the British General Burgoyne and approximately 4000 of his men at the Battle of Saratoga by General Horatio Gates and Major General Benedict Arnold so influenced the French government under Louis XVI that they decided to join in the American cause with financial and military support. Without French support the American revolution would probably have failed.
