Answer: Treaties
Explanation:
During the build-up to WW1, countries in Europe formed alliances to protect themselves in case war broke out.
They formed these alliances by signing treaties amongst themselves.
The Triple Alliance was formed from a Treaty between Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy while the Triple Entente was as a result of a Treaty between Britain, France and Russia.
Initially, the colonists accepted these taxes because they were lightly enforced by the government. These taxes were also light themselves, and were not a harsh payment to make for imports. When the British government did enforce these light duties and eventually added more direct taxes, the colonists feared that by accepting these, they would lose their property and political rights to the British. In the end, the colonists opposed all taxes imposed on them by the government.
