In the 1760s, Great Britain fought a long and expensive war with France to guarantee, among other things, the safety of its "subjects" in North America. The British Parliament felt that the colonists should help pay for that war.

BTW, the arrogance and hubris shown in the debates in Parliament about the rebellion in America are eerily reminiscent of the debates in Congress about Vietnam and Iraq.

What did the Chou leaders believe justified their rebellion against the shang?

The Chou leaders believed their rebellion against the Shang was justified by the concept of the "Mandate of Heaven," which posited that a ruler's legitimacy depended on their ability to govern justly and effectively. They claimed that the Shang had become corrupt and tyrannical, losing the favor of the heavens. By overthrowing the Shang, the Chou asserted that they were restoring moral order and fulfilling a divine right to rule. This ideology not only legitimized their actions but also established a framework for future rulers in China.

Were British generals or colonist generals better?

The British generals were usually better leaders, especially early in the war. There was plenty of bumbling and incompetency on both sides. Washington's actions after the successful siege of Boston - losing battle after battle on Long Island, Manhattan, etc. - showed him to be a very ineffective leader for that terrible first year of the war. He learned and made great progress in leadership after those defeats.
