Why do must historians consider the battle of Saratoga to be more important than the battle of Yorktown in the way the war turned out?
In 1777 British Gen Sir Wm Howe planned to split the Colonies, North and South, by capturing the Hudson Valley and area to the south and west in Pennsylvania.
At that time Gen John Burgoyne had several thousand British Regulars along the St Laurence River in Canada and the plan was that Burgoyne should move south in the Hudson Valley to join forces with Gen Howe in southern New York.
The Battles at Saratoga decisively stopped Burgoyne dead in his tracks and forced him to retreat back north.
This one series of battle broke the back of the British offensive and, it convinced European countries that the Colonial initiate was a Real and Effective movement. When news reached France and other countries, they immediately released and send military support (both soldiers and ships) to assist the Colonial cause.
