At first "What caused American Revolution"?
The first reason that caused American revolution is the British Taxation on the Americans.
Reasons for American Revolution: Taxation without representation in parliament. Colonials thought the English could not control colonies from so far away. (across the pond) Money, people like John Hancock did not want to pay taxes on his goods being brought into the docks or sent to England, import and export.
Many, many things caused the revolutinon. From the economic problems, to the discontent with autocratic rule. Look this up on Google. Type in "American Revolution" and hit enter.
The "shot heard round the world" was fired when British soldiers marched out from Boston to seize the guns and ammo we Americans held at Concord. (Let that be a warning to those would do the same today.) For Parliament to tax us was also an irritant. We had no representation in that body and hence no way to limit those taxes. Many years after the fight, one of the Massachusetts men, asked why he fought, said something like: We had always governed ourselves; the British intended that we shouldn't. (Sorry for the lack of a direct quote; it is somewhere in "Paul Revere's Ride," by David Hackett Fischer.) The causes were many, but I think they all boil down to that one: self-government.
Between the setlement of Jamestown in 1607 and the French and Indian War the colonies have been isolated by the mother country due to the policy of salutary neglect in which the king argued that colonies should take care of their own affairs, as the British were busy fighting foreign wars. In 1763 the foreign wars ended in British victory, now the mother country has the time to focus on the colonies and restored its empire by taxing the colonies. Over 150 years of self-rule, yet loyal to the mother country, the English colonist will be imposed to follow laws and policies that violates the principles of their natural rights, and the principle of no taxation without represenation. The Proclamation Act of 1763 marked the beginning of the American Revolution as prohibited the colonists to advance further of the Appalachian Mountains thus begins the resentment in the colonists. Followed by several policies in years to follow imposed by King George III increased the tensions and resentment of the colonists towards the mother country, eventually leading to the American Revolution in 1776.
And now at the last "What would have happened if the US lost the American revolution"?
I think (in my opinion) what would have happened if the US lost the American revolution:
The british would have increased the taxation on the colonists.
They would control the American government.
And if the British would have control over the American government the purpose of the "sons of liberty"would be no more which was to establish independence in the colonies.
Well Yes to the taking over the US government but what I think is that the taxes would start to drop in fear of another revolution. If this didn't happen the Americans would have tryed again in a few years.
Had Britain prevailed in the war, it might have strengthened the British Empire over time, and definitely could have affected world history dramatically. It is possible that at some point the colonies would have been merged with Canada. Napoleon's France might not have so easily parted with the Louisiana Purchase, delaying and possibly complicating the history of Manifest Destiny. It is unknown what a pro-British form of the Monroe Doctrine would have entailed.
