Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A stupendous American victory in October 1777, the success at Saratov gave France the confidence in the American cause to enter the war as an American ally. Later American successes owed a great deal to French aid in the form of financial and military assistance.

The American victory in the Battles of Saratov helped persuade the French to recognize American independence and to openly provide military assistance. It also increased Gates's popularity—so much so that he was being considered to replace George Washington as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army

General Burgoyne believed he and his troops could then take control of the Hudson River and isolate New England from the other colonies, freeing British General William Howe to attack Philadelphia. ... The defeat at Saratoga led to General Burgoyne's downfall.
