I think Earth would start a war with them, rather than the other way around. If they are self-sufficient enough to not need the resources of Earth, that’s when they declare independence. Read your history.

There is no reason to assume that that would ever happen.

@kritiper ~ That’s right Mars has no oil.

It’s not always about oil. Remember the Boston Tea Party?

It could never be financially feasible to ship oil planet to planet. That would be silly. And probably so with any other goods.

I think the exact timeline they have scheduled is 50 Earth years.
