What factors weakened the ties between england and its colonies?

Some of the major factors that led to the ties between England and its colonies were associated with British taxation policy as well as their direct rule over the politics of their colonial territories. Specifically in the 13 American Colonies dissent grew due to a belief that the colonists were being taxed unfairly and were not given their right to representation that they believed was associated with taxation. In other British Colonies harsh colonial practices as well as indigenous rising nationalism led to the fracturing of the relationship between Britain and its colonies in places like the American colonies, India, and Arab countries.
