Britain was in a war with France that was costing a lot of treasure. They decided to impose taxes on the colonies to help pay for the war and gave the colonies no say in the matter. The colonies resented this and there were rumblings of insurrection. As a result the King sent troops to put down any trouble. The imposing of troops only inflamed the situation, finally resulting in revolt.
