The Battle of Saratoga was a turning point in the Revolutionary War because it convinced the French to aid the Colonistsagainst the British.

Why was French help important? French military assistance kept the American cause from collapsing and tipped the balance in favor of the colonists at Yorktown, Virginia in 1781, the battle that ended the war and won American independence.

Plus, the win at Saratoga and the help of the French heartened the American colonists after a series of crushing, almost final, defeats.
