Developments and Changes in the American Revolution What were some of the important developments and changes in the North American British colonies from about 1690 to 1763?
How might those developments and changes have helped to create a foundation for the American Revolution? American Revolution, also called United States War of Independence or American Revolutionary War, (1775–83), insurrection by which 13 of Great Britain’s North American colonies won political independence and went on to form the United States of America. The war followed more than a decade of growing estrangement between the British crown and a large and influential segment of its North American colonies that was caused by British attempts to assert greater control over colonial affairs after having long adhered to a policy of salutary neglect.
