The decisive victory of Saratoga was the turning point in the American Revolution and led France to come into the war on the side of the United States, declaring war on Great Britain on February 6, 1778, soon followed by Spain and Holland.
The battle of Saratoga was important for several reasons. First, it was a major victory for the Americans as they captured a large number of British soldiers. Second, it was a morale boost to the Americans who had been losing most of the Battles against the British. Third, it stopped the British army from meeting up with more British forces which were headed to Philadelphia in order to capture the city. Most importantly however, the battle gave the King of France confidence in the ability of the Continental Army, resulting in French military aid to the colonies.

1. WWI-Unrestricted sub warfare turned people against Germany. 2. WWII-America liked Germany prior to WWII, Germans even visited the US in the 1930s. Germany declared on America. America did NOT declare war on Germany (America simply reciprocated). Hitler wanted Japan to open a second Russian Front, as he had just invaded Russia the same year that Japan bombed Pearl Harbor; he also declared war the same year he invaded Russia. If Hitler helped Japan, he hoped Japan would help him.
