Detailed explanation-1: -Great Britain had defeated France (with Americans’ help) just 14 years before, in the French and Indian War. The French began offering money, troops, ships, and other aid to assist in the American war effort after Saratoga, and this helped secure an American victory.
Detailed explanation-2: -The victory persuaded France to sign a treaty with the United States against Britain. France’s financial and military support contributed to Washington’s victory at Yorktown in 1781, which effectively ended America’s War for Independence.
Detailed explanation-3: -French field guns also played a critical role in a decisive triumph that forced the historic surrender of British General John Burgoyne and his entire army. The stunning success at Saratoga gave Franklin what he had been pleading for-explicit French support in the war.
