    The document summarizes 9 leading events that contributed to the start of the American Revolutionary War in 1775, including various taxation acts by the British parliament on the American colonies beginning in the 1750s. Tensions rose further following the Boston Massacre in 1770 and the Boston Tea Party in 1773, leading the British to pass the Intolerable Acts in 1774. Ultimately, the growing desire of the American colonists for freedom and independence from British rule, as well as their resentment over loss of rights, led to the first shots being fired between British soldiers and American colonists in Lexington, Massachusetts on April 19, 1775, marking the beginning of the Revolutionary War.
