Answer this question… Great Britain did not allow the colonists to participate in government.
The American colonists fought the British in the American Revolution. After the Battle of Saratoga, the French actively joined the War against the UK.
The British felt that the American Colonists should pay to bear the costs relating to their country's defense. The British also felt that they were evading the laws that regulated imperial trade. The war that ended in 1763, brought a great debt of about 122 million pounds to the British treasury. Hence the need for tighter regulations on the American Colonists.
Answer this question… Great Britain did not allow the colonists to participate in government.
The British were imposing very high taxes on the American colonists after 1763. They saw the money that could be raised on taxing the colonists as a way to recover money spent on the French and Indian War that brought their country financial hardship. Without the American colonists having representation in Parliament there was very little the colonists could do to contest these high rates of taxes.
They were afraid that the territory of Canada would give the colonists the means to move further inland. If the colonists did this, and moved further away from the control of the British, then the colonial ties to the mother country could weaken.

Spain and France aided the colonists during the American Revolution. They both saw the war as an opportunity to weaken their common rival, the British Empire.
In the beginning of the war, colonists were upset that they were being taxed from the British, for a war they had nothing to do with. Many of the colonists rebeled and they wanted to be independent. So all and all. They fought to form a new nation because they didn't want to be under British rule; a country 3,000 miles away.
The foreign country that aided the colonists in their war against England by setting up a sea blockade was France. The French navy played a significant role in supporting the American colonists during the Revolutionary War by blockading British ports and preventing reinforcements and supplies from reaching the British forces.
