Introduction
King George III, the King of Britain, loosely enforced the Navigation Acts in the American Colonies before the French and Indian War. The colonies were then able to freely trade and make money.
After Britain lost the French and Indian War the King of Britain began to was look for a way to pay their war expenses. The King decided to have the thirteen colonies pay for the war. This triggered a number of events that led to the American Revolution.
The major causes of the American Revolution were:
The failure of the Albany Plan of Union
Many colonists challenged these injustices imposed by the King in the hopes of gaining liberty and freedom from Britain. These challenges led to the war called the American Revolution.
