Why did King George the third decide to take more control over the colonies did he had before?

Answer 1

King George III decided to exert greater control over the American colonies primarily to address the financial burdens resulting from the French and Indian War, which left Britain in debt. He believed that the colonies should contribute to the costs of their defense and governance through taxes and stricter regulations. Additionally, there was a desire to maintain the empire's integrity and prevent colonial rebellions, leading to increased oversight and enforcement of British authority in the colonies. This shift ultimately fueled colonial discontent and contributed to the American Revolution.
