Site of the first significant American military victory during
the
Revolution, the Battles of Saratoga rank among the fifteen
most
decisive battles in world history. Here in 1777 American forces met,
defeated and forced a major British army to
surrender, an event which
led France to recognize the
independence of the United States and
enter the war as a decisive
military ally of the struggling Americans
First authorized as a New York state site in 1927 on the sesquicentennial of the Battles, the Battlefield was made part of the National Park System in 1938 when Saratoga National Historical Park was authorized by the United States Congress.
