The war started off by the British and French having a border dispute that led to a seven year long global conflict. This war was won by the British, but by entering in this war, they went broke. In order to restore economic balance, they taxed the colonies. In the long run, this made the colonies fed up with the British demanding more money. This sparked the American revolution, and it also brought France and Spain into this as they were both bitter about the war and took any chance to weaken Britain.
Congress adopted the Olive Branch Petition asking Parliament not to break from the colonies until a compromise could be worked out.
