Explanation:

The battle of Saratoga was one of the most important wars fought during the course of the war of independence of the United States. Its outcome contributed, to a large extent, to deciding the final outcome of the contest in favor of the continental army. This battle took place between September 19 and October 17, 1777 in Saratoga, a region located between Boston and the Great Lakes area, in the vicinity of the Hudson River. The British general John Burgoyne tried to isolate to New England of the rest of the colonies of the north and to cause the greater amount of possible losses between the rows of the rebellious army (to see Campaign of Saratoga). His plan was to climb the Hudson River valley from Montreal, where his columns were gathered, climbing along this river road with the support of British troops based in New York. The latter, led by General Howe, would attack from the north and join him in Albany to create a common front and undertake a joint offensive. The battle of Yorktown took place during the War of Independence of the United States of America between September 26 and October 19, 1781. It faced the independence supporters supported by France and Spain, who helped with 500,000 pesos of silver collected in the Havana to finance the French fleet and continental troops-both those sent officially under the command of the Count of Rochambeau and the volunteers of the Marquis de La Fayette-against the British under the command of Lord Cornwallis.
