<h2>d. British debt after the French and Indian War led to increased taxation in the colonies.</h2>
Explanation:
The Seven Years War was fought in Europe from 1756-63. That conflict as it extended to colonial territories in the New World was known as the French and Indian War. The war had cost the British treasury 70 million pounds, which doubled their national debt. The British felt they were entitled to tax the colonies for military protection against Indian tribes.
We might also note that France's loss in that war played a role in the American Revolution too. Losing the conflict in North America to the British didn’t sit well with France. So, when the colonial Americans broke out in revolution against the British monarchy (in large measure about the taxation issue), France devoted enormous financial aid (as well as officer support) to the Americans. The cost to France for supporting America’s revolution added up to 1 billion livres (about 4 billion in today’s dollars).
