The battle which turned the tide of the revolutionary war in favor of the Americans was the battle of what?

The turning point in the Revolutionary War that helped the Americans win, was a victory in three battles in New York and Vermont. Oriskany and Saratoga in New York and the battle at Bennington, Vermont gave the Colonists the upper hand. This was probably due to the fact that one British General decided to go out on his own and capture Philadelphia and did not participate in any of the battles mentioned.


What was the date of saratoga?

The Battle of Saratoga was fought on: October 17, 1777.The Battles of Saratoga on October 1777 were decisive American victories in the American Revolutionary War, resulting in the surrender of an entire British army of over 6,000 men invading New York from Canada. This action, often referred to in the singular as the "Battle of Saratoga", was actually two battles fought eighteen days apart, but on the same ground, nine miles south of Saratoga, New York: the Battle of Freeman's Farm on October 17.Forced to retreat after his defeat on October 17, General John Burgoyne and his entire army surrendered ten days later after being surrounded by much larger American militia forces. The capture of an entire British army secured the northern American states from further attack via Canada and prevented New England from being isolated. A major result was that France entered the conflict on behalf of the Americans, thus dramatically improving the Americans' chances in the war. The battles of Saratoga, and the entire Saratoga campaign that concluded with the surrender of Burgoyne, are commonly seen as the turning point of the Revolution.
