One of the greatest turning-points of the American Revolution was the colonists' victory over the British at Saratoga in the fall of 1777. This victory convinced several European nations that the American cause was worth supporting, with France in particular providing aid that proved critical to the ultimate victory in the war.
France and to a lesser degree The Netherlands (Holland) and Spain helped the colonists during the American Revolution (actually war for independence).
The Glorious Revolution proved to the Catholic Church that it would not establish a monarchy in England. It also showed the monarchy in England that their power was not absolute.
During the American Revolution, a cash-strapped Continental Congress accepted loans from France. Paying off these and other debts incurred during the Revolution proved one of the major challenges of the post-independence period. The new U.S. Government attempted to pay off these debts in a timely manner, but the debts were at times a source of diplomatic tension.
Antietam
Battle of Antietam/Sharpsburg - September 17th 1862
The Battle of Antietam was the bloodiest single day of combat during the US Civil War. Casualties added up to over 23,000 men killed wounded, or missing.
It was the first effort by the British to capture Charlestown, it proved unsuccessful.
Washington, commanding American and French forces, forced Cornwallis to surrender his entire British Army of the South there, effectively ending the Revolution, though years of negotiation followed.
The battle of Saratoga proved to the world that the American army was an effective fighting force capable of defeating the highly trained British forces in a major confrontation. As a result of this successful battle, the European powers took interest in the cause of the Americans and began to support them.
