Answer 1

Answer: The British, whose plan was to win the war by dividing the colonies in two, were overtaken by the Patriots. The victory convinced the French to provide the foreign aid and support needed to win the war.

Explanation:

In a bid to gain even more support against the British during the American revolution, the Continental army attempted an invasion of Canada with the Battle of Quebec. They hoped it would inspire Canadians to join them. It did not and the invasion was crushed.

The British then attacked them at the Battle of Saratoga hoping to divide the colonies in two by separating the New England colonies from the rest of the colonies.

The Continental army defeated the British at Saratoga and this tuned out to be very important as it convinced the French and the Spanish to provide the Americans with the support needed to beat the British.
