The Battle of Saratoga, Burgoyne surrendered October 17, 1777. It showed the French that we might have a chance of wining the war,therefore, we earned their support and financial aid.
The battle was lost earlier when 1500 troops went over to Bennington, Vermont to "requisition supplies" They got badly beaten August 17th as did 600 reserve troops sent as reinforcements. Few returned to Saratoga. So a British force that needed to be strengthened was made far weaker setting the British up for the loss at Saratoga.
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 French helped the patriots because earlier, in the French and Indian war, France and Britain were enemies and fought over the American land. When the Patriots proved themselves in the fight at Yorktown, France took it as a chance to get back at Britain.
