Heavy taxations imposed by the English Crown, rebellion acts such as the Boston Tea Party, wars such as the Revolutionary Wars, strategic alliances in World War 1 and II, but at the end, there is a tight bond that will always unite these two nations in a special kind of relationship that is reflected, for instance, in their trade relations.

The other options of the question were A) a Commonwealth. B) a dependency. C) a dominion.
