Explanation:

Washington's victories at Trenton and Princeton were crucial as they demonstrated America's ability to defeat the British. This was significant in attracting potential allies like the French. Princeton University was established in 1746, long before these battles (1776 - 1777). The American Revolution wasn't won solely by these two battles; the war continued for several more years after them.

They saved the Revolution by showing potential allies (like the French) that America could win against the British.
