Causes: Economic and Political War. Seven Year's War left Britain in debt which lead to taxing the colonies [think: Stamp Act, Tea Act] and try to enforce Mercantilism (All money for Mother Country; Economy controlled by Mother Country). Because Britain tries to institute laws, Colonists become angry.

1783: Peace Treaty. American wins because of help from France and Distance between colonies and Britain.
