Three reasons the Colonies needed to break away from Britain were the simple rights that were being taken away from the colonists. The king was sending troops over to America to watch the colonists and make sure they were no longer trading with other countries other than Britain. The king passed charters and taxes that were set on many things while he did not to Britain. He wanted it so Britain would make all the profit and the colonies made only enough to survive. The king wouldn't give the people a say in there own government which did not work out because in order to pass laws that needed to be passed then and there they had to be sent on ships and wouldn't get to the king for another five months. The people were not allowed to govern them selves if they were cot doing something that was not right they would be sent to court but not the kind we have today it would be justified by the judge there was no other people who would decide but the king. This made to people furious. They then began to rebel with the Boston tea party and the Boston massacre. These are three reasons the people of the colonies broke off of Britain.

Why did America go to war with the British?

The two countries came to war in 1775-1783 in the American War of Independence when the American colonies wanted to become independent. They were at war again in 1812-1815 after America declared war on Britain (and Canada) over reasons such as British support for the indigenous population who were being wiped out. The real reason however was to try and grab Canada from Britain like they later stole California and Texas and Hawaii. America lost 2,200 men.

Why did Britain ally the US in World War 2?

America first joined the Brits. Then, Germany attacked Russia. The Americans gave aid to the Russians to help defeat Germany. America either sent a ton of tanks to Russia or helped them build a ton of tanks. I can't remember exactly which way that worked. I think America helped Russia build tanks by improving their designs.
