Osprey - Campaign 067 - Saratoga 1777: Turning point of a revolution
Brendan Morrissey
Osprey's examination of the Saratoga campaign, which was a watershed,
and is widely believed to have been the turning point of the American
War of Independence (1775-1783). For the first time British regulars
were beaten in open battle by equal numbers of Americans. The
Continentals bore the brunt of the fighting, supported by 'hordes' of
militia who proved adept at attacking detachments or lines of
communication.The after-shock in America (on both sides) and Europe
transformed a civil war into a global struggle against the two colonial
superpowers of the day, France and Spain, and eventually lost George III
his American colonies.
