The 사라토가 전투, fought in 1777 during the 미국 독립 전쟁, was a pivotal battle between the 미국 Continental Army and the 영국 forces. It took place in Saratoga, New York, and is often considered a turning point in the war due to the significant American victory. The battle consisted of two main engagements, the first on September 19 and the second on October 7. The American forces, led by generals like 호레이쇼 게이츠 and 벤저민 프랭클린, successfully surrounded and defeated the British troops under 존 버고인, leading to his surrender on October 17, 1777.
