The basic cause of the growth of conflict was tension
between the British need for revenues and the American desire for independence.
Before the French and Indian War, the American colonies had been left more or

autonomy and came to see it as a right. At the same time, the colonies were increasing
in population and economic strength and becoming less dependent on the mother
country.
After the war, the British needed funds to pay for the war
and other costs of empire. They felt the Americans should help to pay so they
imposed taxes and tried to increase British control of the colonies to ensure
smooth flow of revenues. This need came into conflict with the expectations the
colonists had built over the years.

After World War I the Senate rejected the Treaty of Versailles which was mainly based on the idea that the Treaty would require the United States to join the League of Nations and may have resulted to a loss of the United States sovereignty. The treaty would also force the United States to get involved in issues that were of less relevance to the U.S. The League of Nations was created as a body to prevent future conflicts by establishing a body to settle disputes between nations and authorize action against the Nation that did not comply. Some Senate members wanted to change the Versailles Treaty, i.e., Henry Cabot Lodge but president Wilson dismissed and disliked his suggestions.
