Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

Yes, the correct answer is d) It ended the British threat to New England and convinced France to become an ally. The Battle of Saratoga marked a turning point in the American Revolutionary War because it was a major victory for the American forces and demonstrated their military strength. The British General John Burgoyne surrendered his entire army to the American General Horatio Gates, which ended the British threat to New England and boosted American morale. This victory also had international implications as it convinced France to openly support the American cause and join the war as an ally. France's involvement brought much-needed supplies, troops, and naval support to the American forces, significantly strengthening their position in the war.
