The four key events that led to the Revolutionary War are:

  1. Frustration among colonists - Colonists grew increasingly frustrated with British rule, feeling they had no representation in Parliament and were thus subject to unfair laws and taxes.

  2. Continental Congress - The establishment of the Continental Congress represented a united response to British policies and served as a platform for colonial leaders to organize against British rule.

  3. Rising taxes - The imposition of several taxes by the British government, such as the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts, angered the colonists, who felt they were being unjustly taxed without representation.

  4. Declaration of Independence - The adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 declared the colonies' intent to separate from Britain, solidifying their commitment to fighting for independence.

(Note: "Land boundary disagreements" and "Articles of Confederation" were not directly causes of the Revolutionary War. The "Articles of Confederation" were established after the war.)
