By 1774, the year leading up to the Revolutionary War, trouble was brewing in America. Parliament (England's Congress) had been passing laws placing taxes on the colonists in America. There had been the Sugar Act in 1764, the Stamp Act the following year, and a variety of other laws that were meant to get money from the colonists for Great Britain. The colonists did not like these laws.
Great Britain was passing these laws because of the French and Indian War, which had ended in 1763. That war, which had been fought in North America, left Great Britain with a huge debt that had to be paid. Parliament said it had fought the long and costly war to protect its American subjects from the powerful French in Canada. Parliament said it was right to tax the American colonists to help pay the bills for the war
Most Americans disagreed. They believed that England had fought the expensive war mostly to strengthen its empire and increase its wealth, not to benefit its American subjects. Also, Parliament was elected by people living in England, and the colonists felt that lawmakers living in England could not understand the colonists' needs. The colonists felt that since they did not take part in voting for members of Parliament in England they were not represented in Parliament. So Parliament did not have the right to take their money by imposing taxes. "No taxation without representation" became the American rallying cry.

Egypt highly valued the gold, but it didn't had its own reserves of it. The Kush lacked food sources, such as grain. Because of this, Egypt provided Kush with grain that it had in abundance, while Kush provided Egypt with gold which it had abundance, so both sides benefited from it.
the first time the allies opened a second front in Europe was in southern Italy in 194(1-3). it wasn't very effective bc hitler was able to bring mussolini back into power in northeen italy under his thumb. but the more important second front was in france starting with the famous D-day invasion. that was incredibly effective, it distracted hitler enough to where stalin could finally push the germans back on the eastern front.
