The correct answer is C) to raise money for defending the colonists' territory.

The British felt it was proper to tax the colonists in the 1760 since Britain supplied numerous troops to help fight in the French and Indian War. This war that took place in North America between 1754-1763 was one that saw the French encroaching on land that the colonists believed belonged to them. This resulted in a long and expensive war.

Even though the British were victorious in defending colonial claim, the British government accumulated a massive amount of debt. This is when they turned to the colonies, as they felt it was fair to tax them after spending so much money protecting their land from the French.

What factors finally brought an end to apartheid in south africa?
elena55 [62]
The final stage of apartheid<span>'s demise happened so quickly as to have taken many people in South Africa and throughout the world by surprise. The release of </span>Nelson Mandela<span> in February 1990 and the lifting of the ban of the </span>African National Congress<span> (ANC) and other liberation movements led to a protracted series of negotiations out of which emerged a democratic constitution and the first free election in the country's history. Democracy did not emerge spontaneously; it had to be built laboriously, brick by brick. This was a complex process, following years of multifaceted struggle and accompanied in the 1990-1994 period by convulsive violence as vested interests resisted change. Probably unique in the history of colonialism, white settlers voluntarily gave up their monopoly of political power. The final transfer of power was remarkably peaceful; it is often is described as a "miracle" because many thought that South Africa would erupt into violent civil war. </span>

Why did British laws and taxes in Colonial America lead to protest and<br> violence?
german

Answer:

The British decided to keep a standing army in America. This decision would lead to a variety of problems with the colonists.

Many colonists felt that they should not pay these taxes, because they were passed in England by Parliament, not by their own colonial governments. They protested, saying that these taxes violated their rights as British citizens. The colonists started to resist by boycotting, or not buying, British goods.
