Why did the american revolution start and what were the events that led up to it?

(long text incoming) great Britain was the reason of the American revolution they started it by taxing the colony's without approval because of the French and Indian war they thought that the colony's were the ones to pay it so they put things like the stamp act, the sugar act, the tea act and so many other acts eventually the colony's made a army called minute men (soldiers that are ready at anytime and must keep their gun on them no matter what) they loss a battle and won one with those soldiers then the events it led up to was the declaration of independence declaring it was separated from great Britain

hope this helped
