Britain vs colonists
The British vs. the Colonists In the 1750s, France and Britain were fighting in the French and Indian War. ... British colonists wanted to take over North American lands. ... This war not only caused tension among the French and the British, but also the British and the colonists. ... The major factor for the cause of the American Revolution was Britain’s ignorance. The American Revolution started when Britain neglected it’s duties as a ‘mother country.’ Britain was so absorbed in their own affairs, that they disregarded the issues of the colonies. After Britain got involved in the war, they needed support in the army.
