The answer is B. The Marshall Plan was made to lend mainly Germany money post-war, however what the US really wanted to happen was the Germans would take the money to pay back Britain and France who would then in turn pay the US back for aid lenses during the war. Although in the end it resulted in massive inflation in Germany and caused a worldwide economic slump that last for almost a decade because in the end the money wasn't making its way around the circle.
By 1774, the year leading up to the Revolutionary War, trouble was brewing in America. Parliament (England's Congress) had been passing laws placing taxes on the colonists in America. There had been the Sugar Act in 1764, the Stamp Act the following year, and a variety of other laws that were meant to get money from the colonists for Great Britain. The colonists did not like these laws.
Great Britain was passing these laws because of the French and Indian War, which had ended in 1763. That war, which had been fought in North America, left Great Britain with a huge debt that had to be paid. Parliament said it had fought the long and costly war to protect its American subjects from the powerful French in Canada. Parliament said it was right to tax the American colonists to help pay the bills for the war
Most Americans disagreed. They believed that England had fought the expensive war mostly to strengthen its empire and increase its wealth, not to benefit its American subjects. Also, Parliament was elected by people living in England, and the colonists felt that lawmakers living in England could not understand the colonists' needs. The colonists felt that since they did not take part in voting for members of Parliament in England they were not represented in Parliament. So Parliament did not have the right to take their money by imposing taxes. "No taxation without representation" became the American rallying cry.
Answer:
The Americans, the majority of the colonists, didn't want war but, a peaceful separation and the formation of a new country. Tensions and the British's reluctance towards this idea was which drove the colonists to war.
Explanation:
In 1765, tensions escalated with the Stamp Act which imposed more suffocating British rule over the already fed up colonists. In 1764, Parliament enacted the Sugar Act, an attempt to raise revenue in the colonies through a tax on molasses. Although this tax had been on the books since the 1730s, smuggling and laxity of enforcement had blunted its sting. Now, however, the tax was to be enforced. An outcry arose from those affected, and colonists implemented several effective protest measures that centered around boycotting British goods. Then in 1765, Parliament enacted the Stamp Act, which placed taxes on paper, playing cards, and every legal document created in the colonies. Since this tax affected virtually everyone and extended British taxes to domestically produced and consumed goods, the reaction in the colonies was pervasive. The Stamp Act crisis was the first of many that would occur over the next decade and a half.
These are the 13 colonies
In 1776, America declared independence from Britain. Five years later the congress ratified the first national constitution.
