Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf Battle \ of \ Saratoga}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The Battle of Saratoga was probably the most important turning point in the American Revolution.

The two battles transpired in the fall of 1777. The first, at Freeman's Farm, was a Continental loss, since the Americans had to retreat, but they didn't experience as many casualties as the British. The second, at Bemis Heights, was a decisive victory.

The Americans regained some faith in the war and other countries noticed.

The French, Spanish, and Dutch, would all publicly support the colonial war effort. Some believe the supplies, money, and reinforcements they provided allowed the Americans to win.
