That included the power to make laws and the power of taxation. This created tension between the colonists and the mother country, as the colonists increasingly saw themselves more as American than British, but just as important they saw themselves as building a future in their land, and that Great Britain was increasingly an impediment to that future.
As the colonies began to gain their own powers to pass laws, and of taxation, they started to function increasingly as independent governments. With these governmental capabilities, the colonists began to be more functionally independent from Great Britain than they had in the past. While during this period in the mid-1770s the colonists were not as vehemently pro-independence, there was definitely a sentiment arising that the colonies were doing just fine running things for themselves.
With these overarching tensions in mind, the short-run causes started to emerge. The French and Indian War saw a change in the dynamic between Britain and the Colonies. First, Britain saw itself in debt from the conflict, and sought to recover that money from the colonies it was collecting. This increased the tax…

During the 1920s and 1930s, the modern Mexican state "came to embody the dual heritage of the Mexican revolution, representing and containing the interests
We are surrounded on all sides by enemies, and we have to advance almost constantly under their fire. We have combined, by a freely adopted decision, for the purpose of fighting the enemy, and not of retreating into the neighboring marsh, the inhabitants of which, from the very outset, have reproached us with having chosen the path of struggle instead of the path of conciliation…there can be no talk
Unlike the French Revolution, Italian revolt was not successful, and Louis Napoleon restored papal authority to appease French Catholics and the Hapsburgs regained their influence by 1850 (Henry, 2007). Within Austria itself, there was a revolt more in the French class-based mode protesting the reactionary policies of the Hapsburgs that was crushed, although a new Hapsburg was placed on the throne -- just in time to put down a revolt
Revolution How revolting It maybe suggested that the American Revolution was inevitable. America was far from its colonial master, and unlike colonies in Africa (for example) most of the colonists were both here by choice and considered this new land to be a true home, which weakened their loyalty to the former homeland. America was a huge land rich in natural resources, and as the colonies grew it seems certain that eventually
