The Americans had become used to little interference from Britain. As a result, they viewed the colonies as independent with only minimal oversight from Britain. Britain saw the colonies as theirs, and believed they held the right to control all aspects of colonial life.
they were both in the revolutionary war
The British Empire, its American colonies, France as an ally of the colonials and German troops ('Hessians') who fought for the British.
Since the American colonies were not a united entity, they did not have a capital. I suppose the closest thing to that would be London, the capital of the British empire.
All non British, countries, colonies, territories or protectorates were not part of the British Empire.
Well the 'colonies' did not exist before so yes.

At the British Empires Height it had colonies on EVERY continent in the world!!!! That is why there is a phrase saying "The sun never sets on the British Empire" that phrase was obviously said because there was always a piece of land which was controlled by the British empire in sunlight
Taxes were implemented in the British colonies of North America to help pay for the various wars the Empire was engaged in. Since the American colonies were among the wealthiest in the British Empire it made sense to Parliment to tax them to help pay the bills for the defense of the British Empire. The problem with this was that the colonies had often times had to defend themselves against Native Americans, the French and Spanish. It made little sense to Americans for them to have to pay to once to defend themselves and then pay again to defend an entire empire.
