The Treaty of Alliance between France and the U.S. resulted from the victory at Saratoga.
The Treaty of Alliance between France and the United States resulted from the victory at Saratoga in 1777. This pivotal American win not only boosted morale but also demonstrated the Continental Army's capability to challenge British forces effectively. The success at Saratoga captured the attention of French leaders, who recognized the opportunity to weaken their long-standing rival, Britain. In early 1778, France and the U.S. formalized their alliance, providing essential military support, funding, and resources to the American cause. This partnership significantly bolstered the American war effort and played a crucial role in the eventual success of the Revolutionary War.
