The American Revolution was a war fought between the 13 colonies and Great Britain. King George III did not want the colonies to be self governed. The result was the American Revolution and the birth of the United States.
King George III intended to cover the expenses of his army and the colonial government by controlling the economies of the colonies. He saw that Britain was not making much of a profit due to ongoing problems on the frontier and trade between the colonies and other European countries.
The attitude of King George III was that the Thirteen colonies were not contributing what they should have toward either the French and Indian War or the amount of revenue that was generated. He came to view the Thirteen colonies as competitors instead of subjects of the mother country. As a result, George's attitude as well as Parliament's resulted in the relationship between Britain and the colonies disintegrate.
