The Battle of Saratoga (19 Sept 1777 Jahr – 17 Okt 1777 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

In late September and during the first week of October 1777, the American army was positioned between Burgoyne’s army and Albany. The troops crashed together down south of the town of Saratoga, and Burgoyne’s army was broken. On October 17, 1777, about 6,000 British and Hessian troops surrendered their arms. General John Burgoyne had lost about 90% of his expeditionary forces that had triumphantly marched into New York from Canada in the early summer of 1777. The success gave the French the confidence to enter the war as America’s ally.
