Question

The French-Indian/Seven Years War is often viewed by historians as being a factor in causing the American Revolution. Which of these BEST explains why this might be the case? A). The Indians believed the colonists would return seized lands to them. B). The British were able to defeat the French in North America, Asia, and at sea. C). The high cost of the war meant Parliament had to create new taxes in the American colonies. D). The French were never truly expelled and played a large role in stirring-up colonial discontent.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C). The high cost of the war meant Parliament had to create new taxes in the American colonies. The colonies didn't respond kindly because they didn't want to pay those taxes nor did they want to participate in Britain's wars because it was not their fault that the war happened and they didn't have a bad relationship with France.

Answer 2

The high cost of the war meant Parliament had to create new taxes in the American colonies.
