Explanation:

The Colonial revolt that occurred in American colonies between 1765 and 1783 is known as American Revolution. In the revolution the colonies managed to defeat the British and gain freedom form the British rule, France assisted US in their struggle against Britain. The origins of the this revolution can be traced to the Seven years war after which the British government had imposed taxes to get the expenses of the war. It angered the colonialists as they considered these taxes to be unjust. The protest against the taxes started with the Stamp Act congress in 1765 and led to the Boston Massacre in 1770 and Boston Tea Party in December 1772. British responded to these events by enacting laws that restricted the Massachusetts Bay Colony's right of self government. The other colonies supported Massachusetts for its right of self governance and various patriot leaders set up their own government at continental congress in 1774.
