| - After their success in the Second Global War, Britain had won a major victory, but also had serious war debts to pay. They turned to the Byzantines, who could not help as they themselves had large debts to handle, so payment was denied. The Byzantines had to keep their economy steady as to keep their new overseas territories, and to supply their territories with troops. The Byzantines now showed more support for the reconstructed France than Britain, mainly to help re-establish good relations and support a returned ally. What became known as the Diplomatic Revolution, a new France and Spain became allied to the Byzantines, while Britain, who left the Byzantium Pact in 1769, established good relations with many of the states in Germany, and with Russia, which was increasingly becoming antagonistic to the Byzantines. The Byzantium Pact now consisted mainly of the Byzantine Empire, France, Spain, Prussia, Sweden, and Poland in Europe, against the British alliance of Britain, Austria, Hanover, Hesse, Denmark, the Dutch Republic, and Portugal. Meanwhile, in America, colonists were subjected to increasingly harsh taxes, eventually leading many colonists to feel that the British colonies may need to unite in some way against Great Britain. The Sugar Act, the Stamp Act, and the Townshend Acts, all of these culminated into the Boston Massacre in 1770. After the Boston Massacre, many colonists began pushing for resistance against Britain. The American colonies sent representatives to the First Continental Congress in September 5, 1774 and officially united economically and militarily against Great Britain, establishing multiple Committees of Correspondence and the Colonial militias were continuously made into Continental organizations. Alexander Georgios, a Byzantine general stationed in Boston at this time, was also invited to the meeting, afterwards he sent a letter to the Byzantine Emperor, stating this: "The colonists have appeared to have grown increasingly antagonistic to their British overlords, and this may yet be an advantage for our Empire. I believe if given the necessary authority, I may help establish a new relationship with these colonials which may bring a new era to this empire." He was given the authority as he was given the new rank of Chief Diplomat to the Continental Congress, where he organized a system by which the new American militias would be supplied weaponry and training by the Byzantine Empire. However, whereas guns and cannons cam easy, only very few trainers ever made it and they only trained militiamen in New England, where a majority of the Patriot militias were stationed. The Americans now began to press for independence from Britain, but the British would not allow them to gain independence through the system. Finally, on April 19, 1775, Francis Smith a British Lieutenant Colonel lead 700 British troops out of Boston to the Continental supply depot at Concord, where they were the remaining 400 British soldiers fought against 77 American militiamen, finally beginning the war for American independence.
