Answer:
The two events that were causes of the American Revolution were the Boston Tea Party and the British occupation of Boston.
Explanation:
The American Revolutionary War lasted from 1775 to 1783. It faced the Thirteen Colonies, that today make up the United States east coast, against the British forces. This war ended with the British Empire losing and being forced to sign the Paris Agreement, that declared the independence of the colonies into a new nation, the United States of America, and set the boundaries of the new country.
The beginning of the revolutionary process was in 1763, when the French and Indian War ended, and thus the French threat over the colonies ceased. The British believed that the colonies had to pay a substantial portion of the costs of defending them and therefore increased taxes. It was very unpopular, not least because the colonies were not represented in the British Parliament and the colonists claimed that the tax increases were therefore illegal. After protests in Boston, the British sent troops to the city, the Americans mobilized their militia and fighting broke out in 1775. In 1776, representatives of the Thirteeen Colonies voted unanimously to adopt a Declaration of Independence establishing the new state of the United States. In 1778, the Americans formed an alliance with France that leveled the military and economic power relations. Two major British army forces were captured at Saratoga in 1777 and at Yorktown in 1781, leading to the Paris Agreement in 1783. The new US state was then bounded by British Canada in the north, Spanish Florida in the south and the Mississippi River in the west.
