England implemented various measures, such as imposing taxes like the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts, to generate revenue from the colonies. However, these actions were met with resistance from the colonists, leading to protests and boycotts. In response, England repealed some of these taxes, like the Stamp Act, but maintained others, like the Tea Act. Additionally, England deployed military forces to enforce its authority, which further strained relations. Ultimately, these tensions escalated into the American Revolutionary War, resulting in the colonists gaining independence from England.
