Battles of Saratoga (there were 2) (19 Sept 1777 Jahr – 7 Okt 1777 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

One of the most decisive American battles of the Revolutionary War, Saratoga ended British general John Burgoyne's attempt to control the Hudson River Valley. The outcome convinced the Court of King Louis XVI that the Americans could hold their own against the British Army, sealing the alliance between America and France. American general Benedict Arnold was hailed as a hero for his bravery on the battlefield, a reputation lost with his later betrayal and defection to the Royalists. Britain won the first battle, and the Patriots won the second.
