Burgoyne's Campaign was a military operation during the American Revolutionary War in 1777, led by British General John Burgoyne. His plan aimed to gain control of the Hudson River Valley by advancing south from Canada, intending to cut off New England from the other colonies. The campaign faced numerous challenges, including difficult terrain and supply shortages, which hindered Burgoyne's progress. The campaign culminated in the pivotal Battle of Saratoga, where Burgoyne's forces were surrounded and ultimately surrendered in October 1777. This defeat marked a turning point in the war, boosting American morale and leading to increased support from foreign allies, particularly France.
