The general background for the Battle of Saratoga, which took place in the autumn of 1777, is characterized first by the as-yet undecided outcome of the Revolutionary War. Second, however, the British were at this time on the offensive yet again, with an invasion of the Colonies from the north as one of their key moves. Third, the fledgling United States was looking for a victory that would bring support from European enemies of Great Britain. They would secure that victory at Saratoga.
