During the colonial period, the American colonies were part of the British Empire, which was established in the early 17th century. The colonies were governed under British laws and were subject to taxation, which led to growing discontent and the desire for independence. Key events, such as the Boston Tea Party and the American Revolution, were driven by opposition to British rule. Ultimately, the colonies declared independence in 1776, resulting in the formation of the United States and the end of British control.
