This was a conservative revolution that occurred in the British colonies in North America. This was one of the first successful anti-imperial revolutions, it led to a republican government that allowed many people to vote and got rid of the monastic rule in the British colonies. It mainly started because there was "taxation without representation." This also led to a few other revolutions around the same time.

French Revolution
An execution by guillotine
|
This was a revolution that was inspired by the North American revolution. It was fueled by the commoners who despised the king for keeping all the food to himself and for bankrupting the country and for taxing too heavily. It was run by the middle class people of the society and was much more radical and violent than the North American revolution.
