The Point of No Return was ORIGINALLY used to describe the point at which a sailing ship has used up half of its food / water. By crossing this "point", they have no other choice than to continue and hope they reach a landing point. Because if they turn around past the point of no return, they won't make it home because of lack of supplies.

The point of no return is where the relations between the British Monarchy and the Colonies is past the point of repair. The British wanted the American Colonies to pay for the British soldiers but the Americans were not going to pay without a representative in Parliment. And things just went downhill leading to the declaration of independece and war.

The British also started to enforce the Navigation Acts to regulate colonial trade and manufacturing.

A point of no return is that spot where it is not feasible to return...the destination is closer.

Aircraft pilots use it as a fuel reference : the point where the on-board fuel will take them to their destination but not back to their point of departure.
