The correct answer is B) The colonists resented that they were not able to settle on land that Great Britain took after the French & Indian War.
According to the passage, the BEST reason why the French and Indian War (Seven Years' War) led to the American revolution was "The colonists resented that they were not able to settle on land that Great Britain took after the French & Indian War."
Many actions from the British monarchy really angered the American colonies and were causes of the American Revolution. The Proclamation of 1763 was one of them. In this document, the government of England prohibited the colonists to occupy land that was part of France before the French and Indian War, and now belonged to Great Britain. Among the other factors that angered Americans and started the Revolutionary War were the heavy taxation imposed by Britain such as the Sugar Act, the Stamp Act, and the Tea Act.
Article 2 is the correct answer
Answer:
Explanation:
The second aspect is to discuss the outbreak of the first Chinese Opium and Second Opium wars. The Chinese Opium wars, also known as Anglo-Chinese Wars, were trade disputes between China and the British Empire. It resulted in diplomatic disputes between the two nations. China suffered the worst defeat in this war of Opium smuggling by the West. The major cause of the wars was due to opium smuggling in China by drug traffickers from Ireland and the United Kingdom of Britain (Willoughby, 13). The wars consisted of the First Opium War that happened from 1839 to 1842 and the Second Opium War from 1856 to 1860.
Opium is chemically processed to produce heroin and is rare in China. Many Chinese people very much demanded the drug. Increased demand of Opium by Chinese was a business opportunity from Western Countries, India and Ireland. It was an illegal affair but British traders never wanted to stop doing this illegal business. The trade led to a rise of drug addicts in China that contributed to increased criminal activity. The effects of the drug had many negative effects in many Chinese societies and it was termed as a human tragedy.
The Imperial government stepped in to salvage the lives of many people who were perishing in many drug dens. In 1836, the government declared opium trading illegal and started to fight aggressively against such businesses. In 1839 Chinese administrative authorities took and burned opium that was being traded in Canton. The drug traffickers were not happy about the action of the Imperial government because the business was so forthcoming. The British responded by occupying positions in Canton, raising alarm on the side of China.
