Answer: A. decreased population
Details:
An article by Brittany De Lea for <em>Fox Business </em>(Jan. 2, 2019) notes that the "states where populations have grown the fastest over the past year include a handful with either low, or no, state income taxes." Her report goes on to say: "On the other hand, in some higher-tax states, populations actually shrank. In New York, for example, where state income taxes extend up to 8.82 percent, 48,510 people left the state." Over 45,100 people also left Illinois, where the state income taxes recently increased by 25%.
A <em>BBC</em> article by James Gallagher (November 9, 2018) explains the connection between declining rates of women having children and decreased population. "The total fertility rate is the average number of children a woman gives birth to in their lifetime. ... Whenever a country's rate drops below approximately 2.1 then populations will eventually start to shrink." The study on which Gallagher was reporting found that half of the countries in the world have fallen below that 2.1 fertility rate and may, as a result, eventually see population decline.
A lengthy war will have obvious detrimental effects on a nation's population. In World War II, for instance, a total of over 70 million people were killed, which was 3% of the 1940 world population. The USSR alone lost over 26 million people (soldiers and civilians) during that war, which was nearly 14% of its 1940 population.
Answers :
Until the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763, few colonists in British North America objected to their place in the British Empire. Colonists in British America reaped many benefits from the British imperial system and bore few costs for those benefits. Indeed, until the early 1760s, the British mostly left their American colonies alone. The Seven Years' War (known in America as the French and Indian War) changed everything. Although Britain eventually achieved victory over France and its allies, victory had come at great cost. A staggering war debt influenced many British policies over the next decade. Attempts to raise money by reforming colonial administration, enforcing tax laws, and placing troops in America led directly to conflict with colonists. By the mid-1770s, relations between Americans and the British administration had become strained and acrimonious.
Explanation:
There were several key factors contributing to the Colonists' victory over the British, such as war tactics, strong leadership and one solid alliance. Despite facing larger forces, better trained armies, and more weapons, the Colonists managed to win.
The American Revolution was a colonial revolt which occurred between 1765 and 1783. The American Patriots in the Thirteen Colonies defeated the British in the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783) with the assistance of France, winning independence from Great Britain and establishing the United States of America
The American colonials proclaimed "no taxation without representation" starting with the Stamp Act Congress in 1765. They had no representatives in the British Parliament and so rejected Parliament's authority to tax them. Protests steadily escalated to the Boston Massacre in 1770 and the burning of the Gaspee in Rhode Island in 1772, followed by the Boston Tea Party in December 1773. The British responded by closing Boston Harbor and enacting a series of punitive laws which effectively rescinded Massachusetts Bay Colony's rights of self-government. The other colonies rallied behind Massachusetts, and a group of American Patriot leaders set up their own government in late 1774 at the Continental Congress to coordinate their resistance of Britain; other colonists retained their allegiance to the Crown and were known as Loyalists or Tories.
