Answer:
Fought eighteen days apart in the fall of 1777, the two Battles of Saratoga were a turning point in the American Revolution. On September 19th, British General John Burgoyne achieved a small, but costly victory over American forces led by Horatio Gates and Benedict Arnold. Though his troop strength had been weakened, Burgoyne again attacked the Americans at Bemis Heights on October 7th, but this time was defeated and forced to retreat. He surrendered ten days later, and the American victory convinced the French government to formally recognize the colonist’s cause and enter the war as their ally.
On September 19, 1777, Burgoyne attacked. The fiery Arnold prodded Gates out of his defensive mentality, winning permission to lead Morgan’s men and Henry Dearborn’s light infantry into the woods to block a British flanking column. For most of the afternoon, a furious struggle raged around and across a clearing called Freeman’s Farm; Arnold poured in fresh regiments until the jittery Gates broke off the action, leaving the battered British in possession of the ground in what came to be known as the Battle of Freeman’s Farm.

Explanation:
States try to limit nuclear tests not only because they are harmful to the environment, but also because these tests mean that new nuclear weapon capabiltites are being developed. Since the end of WW2, there have been efforts to limit and ban further nuclear tests. A significant milestone was achieved in 1963 when the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty was signed. According to it, the member States have to stop testing nuclear explosions on the atmosphere, underwater and in outer space (under ground test were excluded from the Treaty). The most recent effort to ban all testing was the 1996 Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, which prohibits all kinds of testing, even underground. The CTBT is not yet in force due to the lack of some ley State's ratifications (namely the US, China, North Korea, Egipt, India, Pakistan, Iran and Israel)
