Conflict between the 13 colonies and Great Britain began after Britain defeated France and its Indian allies in the French and Indian War. Burdened with war debt, the British Parliament tried raising revenue by passing a number of acts imposing taxes on the 13 colonies. Angered by taxes, the colonists protested. Peaceful protest turned violent and the British government reacted by passing harsh laws and levying more taxes. Tensions increased until the colonists and the British engaged in battle at Lexington and Concord in 1775. These battles marked the start of the American Revolution.
