C. It persuaded France and Spain to become allies. The Battle of Saratoga in 1777 is considered a turning point in the American Revolutionary War. Before the battle, the continental army rarely engaged in open battles with the British, instead using guerrilla tactics and secret ambushes in skirmish fights in the beginning of the war. The continental army needed foreign aid if it wanted to win the war against the much more professionally organized British army. France and Spain were rivals with Britain, but needed proof that the colonists may take on the British army in an open battle if it wanted to join the war on the colonists' side. The continental army had the opportunity to do so at the Battle of Saratoga in upstate New York, and successfully drove back British forces from Canada in open combat, allowing the French and Spanish to join the war against Britain.

How did the war between japan and russia result in the cold war. How was the US and china involved exactly?

Yuki888 [10]

The war was actually between Japan and USSR, not Russia. It was fought on land belonged to China with US and Western allies watching and supporting the Chinese govt.

Japan was the aggressor and invaded part of China bordering USSR. To protect its own interests in China, USSR fought off Japan and took over the puppet govt in Manchuria set up by Japan. It allowed USSR to spread communism to China which turned into a communist country later. US and Western allies won WWII but were alarmed to see the spreading of communism. That confrontation was the beginning of the cold war.

Which side seemed stronger at the beginning of the Civil War?

natita [175]

The correct answer is:

North because its government had been in power longer

Explanation:

With Lincoln's election in 1861, Southern states believed they were no longer represented in the federal government, so they started to secede from the Union,<em> forming the Confederate States of America and naming Jefferson Davis as President. </em>

The North seemed stronger at the beginning of the Civil War (and it turned out it was) because the Union had been in power longer, and President Lincoln was the official President to the entire world, even though the South tried to win support from European countries. The federal government had power over the army and had naval power to block Southern ports and their economy.

The North also seemed stronger because of their bigger population and advanced industries.
