they were both in the revolutionary war
The British Empire, its American colonies, France as an ally of the colonials and German troops ('Hessians') who fought for the British.
Since the American colonies were not a united entity, they did not have a capital. I suppose the closest thing to that would be London, the capital of the British empire.
All non British, countries, colonies, territories or protectorates were not part of the British Empire.
America played a significant role in the British Empire as one of its earliest and most valuable colonies. The Thirteen Colonies contributed to the empire's wealth through trade, agriculture, and resources. However, growing discontent over British taxation and governance eventually led to the American Revolution, marking a pivotal moment in which the colonies sought independence and challenged the imperial structure. This shift not only reshaped the political landscape of North America but also had lasting implications for the British Empire's global influence.
Well the 'colonies' did not exist before so yes.
Some of the reasons the American colonies declared their independence from the British empire:The colonists were heavily taxedColonists had no say in their own affairsParliament made their laws
Virginia was the first of British colonies to be settled in North America. It belonged to the British Empire and was located in the region known as the American South.
The British Empire was made up of all the British Colonies.

Yes, there were many taxes imposed on the American colonies by the British Empire.

A centralized empire is a vast empire that has a single base power and several colonies. A strong example of this is the British empire. The British empire was ruled by the British parliament and Queen of England, however it had several colonies that made up the empire.
All non British, countries, colonies, territories or protectorates were not part of the British Empire.
Yes, the British Empire outlawed slavery in its colonies through the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833. The act provided for the gradual abolition of slavery in most British territories, with full emancipation achieved by 1838.
At the British Empires Height it had colonies on EVERY continent in the world!!!! That is why there is a phrase saying "The sun never sets on the British Empire" that phrase was obviously said because there was always a piece of land which was controlled by the British empire in sunlight
Great Britain taxed the colonies, but did not allow them to participate in politics.
Taxes were implemented in the British colonies of North America to help pay for the various wars the Empire was engaged in. Since the American colonies were among the wealthiest in the British Empire it made sense to Parliment to tax them to help pay the bills for the defense of the British Empire. The problem with this was that the colonies had often times had to defend themselves against Native Americans, the French and Spanish. It made little sense to Americans for them to have to pay to once to defend themselves and then pay again to defend an entire empire.
