The American Revolutionary War was avoidable. The British American colonies were a source of great wealth to England and the colonies. For the most part, the 13 colonies were part of and loyal to the British empire and gave Britain a special significant advantage. The colonies were highly populated with peoples whose heritage was mostly Great Britain. Britain's other colonies did not have a large number of British loyal, English speaking colonists. If Britain had realized the potential wealth and power they could have retained, they never would have given up their attempt to end the American revolution. With that said, Britain could have vastly increased their world wide power by treating the 13 colonies with extra special care and representation in the British parliament. They should have bent over backwards to keep the colonists "happy". If done so, the colonies would have remained loyal and most of the power that was amassed in the expanding westward colonial movement would have been Great Britain's source of farmlands, industry and added military power.
At the conclusion (in 1763) of the French/Indian War on the North American continent, tensions between the colonists and their British overlords increased due to economic pressures imposed by Great Britain and a surging self-confidence (and sense of independence) on the part of the colonists themselves. The Revolutionary War was not, however, inevitable as a result -- and for one reason alone: these tensions calmed through a conscious decision on the part of Great Britain's government to rescind the pressure-causing economic measures. Some years later, Great Britain again (under the moderate guidance of Lord North in Parliament) backed off from controversial economic measures. It would take more than economics-generated pressures to instigate the War of Independence.

Britain had plenty of other colonies all over the world, and this fact was not used as evidence for why the colonies should be free. The Declaration of Independence focused only on the American colonies.

After the French and Indian War, Britain believed the colonies should pay more to Britain. They then levied taxes such as the Stamp and Townshend Acts on the colonists. The colonists, on the other hand, had never been given representation in Parliament, and as a result, believed those taxes were invalid.
