WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Benedict Arnold went on to fight successfully in 1776 in keeping the British from invading the colonies through the Lake Champlain region, and his greatest victory was at Saratoga in 1777, which led to the French coming into the war as the American’s first and most important allies.

Detailed explanation-2: -But the victory of General Horatio Gates at Saratoga also led to a serious but ultimately unsuccessful effort to replace Washington with Gates as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army. The battle of Saratoga took place on the fields of upstate New York, nine miles south of the town of Saratoga.

Detailed explanation-3: -Generals at the Battle of Saratoga: Major General John Burgoyne commanded the British and German force. Major General Horatio Gates and Brigadier Benedict Arnold commanded the American army.

Detailed explanation-4: -General George Washington led the American army to victory during the Revolutionary War. Despite having little practical experience in managing large, conventional armies, Washington proved to be a capable and resilient leader of the American military forces during the Revolutionary War.

Detailed explanation-5: -In what would later turn out to be one of the great ironies of the Revolutionary War, Arnold captured Fort Ticonderoga with the assistance of a British spy. The heavy cannons taken by Arnold proved instrumental in ending the Siege of Boston the following year. His exploits, however, were not without cost.
