Trivia: What important battle convinced France to side with the American colonies?
Battle of Bunker Hill
Battle of Saratoga
Siege of Boston
Battle of Trenton
The correct answer is Battle of Saratoga
So why is this answer correct? : Without the American victory at Saratoga, there would possibly be no United States today. The Battle of Saratoga began with a British victory under the command of General John Burgoyne. But when the Americans returned with a larger force, Burgoyne surrendered his entire army on October 17, 1777. The stunning victory convinced the U.S.’ biggest ally, France, to join the cause.
