4. Lack of representation: The famous slogan "No taxation without representation" reflected the colonists' feeling that they were being taxed by a government in which they had no say.5.

  3. The Seven Years' War: left a significant economic burden on Britain. To pay off war debts, Britain sought to increase revenue through taxes on the colonies.

Development

The independence of the United States was a historical process that culminated in the creation of a sovereign nation. In 1776, the 13 British colonies in North America issued the Declaration of Independence, drafted primarily by Thomas Jefferson, proclaiming their separation from Great Britain. This act was the starting point of the American War of Independence, which lasted from 1775 to 1783. Under the leadership of figures such as George Washington, colonial forces fought bravely against British troops. The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783, recognizing the independence of the United States. This event marked the birth of a new nation, laying the foundation for the creation of the United States Constitution in 1787 and the establishment of a democratic republican government.

The independence of the United States in 1776 had profound consequences for both the country and the world. This revolution inspired similar movements elsewhere and established a set of principles that influenced global politics and society. In the United States, a democratic republic was created with a Constitution that became a model for many nations. Furthermore, independence encouraged westward expansion and economic growth through industrialization. However, it also had negative repercussions, such as westward expansion at the expense of indigenous populations and the persistence of slavery. In short, American independence triggered a significant change in history, setting a new standard for democracy and national independence.
