The battle of Saratoga was called the "turning point" of the American Revolution because it was the first victory for the American patriots. After this battle, the patriot's victory convinced the French to join in the Revolution on the American side, thus providing much military support for the U.S. soldiers.
The Continental Army won many battles (around 87), but lost most of the big ones because it was not as well-equipped as the British. The most important large battle victory was at Yorktown.

The Patriot victory at Saratoga garnered French military support of the Revolutionary War. This was a challenge for the British because tensions with France from the Seven Years War were still high.
During the American Revolutionary War, the action that finally convinced the British to negotiate for a final peace with the Americans was a major battle -- in fact, a victory for the Americans. This victory came at Yorktown (Virginia) in 1781, where a combined American and French force surrounded and exacted the surrender of a British army led by Lord Cornwallis.
After the Patriot victory at Yorktown (Virginia) in 1781, the British decided to bring the Revolutionary War to an end. While several small skirmishes between Americans and British, as well as various debates among British leaders, would take place before ratification of a formal treaty, the fundamental decision to make terms with the "rebels" in America was made by the British after their crushing defeat at Yorktown.
