1775 - 1783 American Revolution / US Independence War
From the 1860s, relations between the colonies and Great Britain began to deteriorate due to taxes. Great Britain wanted the colonists to pay more (the average Brit paid 26 shillings, the average colonist paid only 1 shilling) because it provided them with maritime protection. The colonists did not like that. They argued that they had contributed to their protection by strongly supporting the British, who were at war with the French and the Indians, in the Seven Years War (UK - The French and Indian War). This war, although victorious, cost Britain a lot of money and Britain had a deficit of 122 million pounds.
