The attitude of King George III was that the Thirteen colonies were not contributing what they should have toward either the French and Indian War or the amount of revenue that was generated. He came to view the Thirteen colonies as competitors instead of subjects of the mother country. As a result, George's attitude as well as Parliament's resulted in the relationship between Britain and the colonies disintegrate.

Before the Tudors were the Plantagenets. The last Plantagenet king was Richard III. The first Tudor king was Henry II. Shakespeare wrote a play about Richard III, which showed him as a villain. Scholars nowadays think that might have been a bit of propaganda because he was writing for a Tudor Queen (Elizabeth).
The First Continental Congress sent a petition to King George III on October 25, 1774. This petition was to inform the king that the oppression the British Parliament placed on the colonies was the reason that the Americans were standing up against the British rule.
It depends what war you are talking about. If you are talking about the 100 year war, it was because England wanted to rule France.
Tensions between England and France erupted into war when Edward III declared himself King of France. This claim began what is known as the Hundred Years wars. Despite several great victories, Edward accepted the terms of the Treaty of Bretigny where he relinquished his claim to the French throne.

Edward III of England's uncle was Charles IV of France. His mother, Isabella of France was Charles' sister.

He continued to use this title until he was given substantial land gains to abandon his claims to the French throne.
Yes, both Philip of Valois and Edward III claimed the right to the Spanish throne through their descent from Philip IV of France. Philip of Valois claimed the throne through his mother, Isabella, while Edward III claimed it through his mother, Isabella, who was the sister of the last son of Philip IV. This conflict eventually led to the beginning of the Hundred Years' War.
France: King Philips IV had three sons and one daughter. Only one son left a boy, but that one died within a few days. Philips nephew Philips then claimed the throne. The daughter had married the English king Edward II and her son Edward III claimed the throne through her. Philips stated that France was under Salic Law, which meant that the female line was not valid.

Henry Tudor Thought it was a great chance for him to try and take the throne, as Richard III had just taken the throne over from Edward IV, who was 12, so Henry Tudor rushed in and took Richard by surprise. By The way I'm 12, Yr8 and I'm learning about this. :)
