It came on the heals of the French and Indian and the Seven Years Wars which had also been very expensive. It was those wars that led the government to demand higher taxes from the American colonies, which stirred up a lot of the trouble. </p><p><br /></p><p>George III was the one in the government who pushed the war the hardest. The Boston Tea Party really piqued him off. The loss of the American colonies was the most glaring failure of his reign. If you look at his reign, excluding the American Revolution and the lengthy periods when he lost he mind, George was a decent king.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
