Because the battle was in New York Saratoga so they call it Saratoga battle.
Oh, dude, the advantages of the Battle of Yorktown were like, winning the war and gaining independence, but the disadvantages were probably all the fighting and stuff. Like, I'm pretty sure the Americans were stoked about winning, but I bet the British were bummed they lost. So, yeah, that's the deal with Yorktown.
The Battle of Yorktown was all about the independence of the United States as a free and independent nation. The Battle of Yorktown began on the 28th of September, 1781. General George Washington, commanded a force of 17,000 French and Continental troops against British General Lord Charles Cornwallis and a contingent of 9,000 British troops.
Its difficult to say, because both were crucial. Without Trenton the Revolution would probably have collapsed at the end of 1776, so the state of affairs where Saratoga took place ten months later would never have been reached. And without Saratoga the French most likely would not have interceded on behalf of the Americans, and without French help the Revolution would not have ended successfully. As events played out both were necessary for an American victory. It is a matter of opinion then which was most important, or indeed if either can be said to be more important.
