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.
By using the money that he has already and fixing the problem and if he can't then he will keep a promise that he will fix all their problems.
Answer:
D. Germany had rebuilt quickly following World War I, while France's
economy was in ruins.
Explanation:
The battle of France in the context of World War II began after the attack of the <em>Wehrmacht</em> (German armed forces) on the territory of France and the Benelux on May 10, 1940, and ended with the capitulation of the French government on 25 June of the same year. After the German invasion of Poland in September 1939, France and the United Kingdom declared war on the invading country. However, the Western Front remained inactive for more than seven months. During this time of relative peace, the French backed down behind the Maginot Line and prepared with the English a defensive line along the border between France and Belgium, which had declared itself neutral, thus compromising the effectiveness of the Allied defense. The situation in London and Paris was one of confidence in the German defeat, although the rapid Axis victories in Poland and Norway began to make the Allies nervous. France had lost all its best weapons by that time as well as its best divisions, and its armored forces were void. Without reservations to repel the German advance through France, they ran free throughout the north and center of the country.
