Establishing European Colonies was a way to increase the wealth of a country. Colonists saw themselves as a part of the country they were sent from. After a few generations, this perception changed, and colonists wanted to rule themselves. What would be the reasons colonists might no longer see themselves as part of the colonial power?

PLEASE DO HELP ME OUT!

Answer:

The main reason would be the necessity for self-governing, as mother country usually did not valued the rights of colonists as they valued the rights of people in homeland.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best example for this are thirteen British colonies in America.

Colonists had to pay high taxes, they didn't have representatives in the British Parliament and generally were regarded as a citizens with less importance.

Therefore, when they started asking for more rights, Britain responded by imposing stricter laws. That is why at the end they realized that the only solution is to create independent state.
