The headquarters for the British was located at London, England. King George III was the king of Great Britain. His decisions and ways of governing made the colonists in America despise him. Under him was Prime Minister Lord North. Lord North was head in command to the troops and had a large say in Parliament.
These two men made the colonists want independence. They knew they were outnumbered but felt they had no choice but to fight. North and King George III refused to give the colonists representation in Parliament, and continued to tax them. Lord North didn't think the colonists stood a chance. After all, his navy was the strongest in the World.
This train of thought eventually led to the independence of the colonists. They continued fighting in what they believed. King George III and Lord North were defeated, and are now remembered for their poor decisions that caused the American Revolution.
