The American Revolution began when rising tensions between American colonies and British rule escalated from taxation protests to armed conflict. After the Seven Years' War, Britain imposed new taxes to recover war costs, prompting colonists to protest taxation without representation. Key events included the Boston Massacre (1770), the Boston Tea Party (1773), and Britain's punitive Intolerable Acts, which pushed colonies toward rebellion. The revolution officially began in April 1775 when the first shots were fired at Lexington and Concord.
