The American Revolution began in 1775 as open conflict between the united thirteen coloniesand Great Britain. By the Treaty of Paris that ended the war in 1783, the colonies had won their independence. While no one event can be pointed to as the actual cause of the revolution, the war began as a disagreement over the way in which Great Britain treated the colonies versus the way the colonies felt they should be treated. Americans felt they deserved all the rights of Englishmen. The British, on the other hand, felt that the colonies were created to be used in the way that best suited the crown and parliament. This conflict is embodied in one of the rallying cries of the American Revolution: No Taxation Without Representation.

What were some of the reasons that England believed they could easily crush the American army in the American Revolution?

At the time of the American Revolutionary War, Great Britain was confident that this rebellion could not last. England was a powerful country with many world wide colonies, a strong economy, a trained army and an excellent navy. They were able to capture major cities such as New York City and Philadelphia. Also, there was within the American colonies a group of people called loyalists who did not want to be independent from Great Britain. This favored an end to the rebellion. Things began to change when France became an ally to the rebelling colonies.
