Explanation:

• Battles of Trenton and Princeton (1776): These battles were crucial for boosting American morale. After a series of losses, Washington's surprise attacks at Trenton and Princeton showed that the Continental Army could win against the British.
• Battle of Saratoga (1777): This was a turning - point. The American victory convinced France that the Americans had a real chance of winning the war, leading to the French alliance.
• French alliance (1778): France's entry into the war as an American ally provided the Americans with much - needed military support (such as troops, ships) and financial aid. This balanced the military power against the British, who now had to fight on multiple fronts (not just in America).

Answer:

Battles of Trenton and Princeton, Battle of Saratoga, French alliance.
