The Battle of Saratoga played a huge influence on the French. The fact that the colonists won a decisive victory proved to the French that the colonists could actually fight. The French were eager to get back at the British because of their humiliating loss in the French and Indian War, and saw a chance to get revenge and increase their power by becoming involved in the American Revolutionary War. Mainly due to Saratoga, the French decided to enter in the colonists war for independence.
