Fighting between Britain and the American colonies began with escalating tensions over issues like taxation without representation and British military presence. The conflict ignited with events such as the Boston Massacre in 1770 and the Boston Tea Party in 1773, which fueled colonial unrest. The situation escalated into armed conflict with the battles of Lexington and Concord in April 1775, marking the start of the American Revolutionary War. These skirmishes symbolized the colonies' determination to resist British control and assert their rights.
