Best Answer

The battle of Saratoga was very important for a number of reasons. First, it convinced France that America was capable of and might just win the war against Great Britain. Because of that, France allied itself with America and committed its navy to America. Without that navy America could not have won at Yorktown. Second, it resulted in a large British army being destroyed so the British were no longer a threat in that area. And, it prevented the British from seizing control of the Hudson River. If the British had control of the Hudson, they would have split the colonies in two and perhaps conquered each part one at a time.

Hope that helps!(:

The Battle of Saratoga was major turning point during the American Revolution because it showed to the world that the Continental Army could defeat the powerful British Army. Also, after the battle, the French finally agreed to join the battle and help the colonies.
