Explanation:

1760s

1763

10 February: Signing of the Treaty of Paris

Ending the Seven Year’s War, also known as the French and Indian War in North America.  France ceded all mainland North American territories, except New Orleans, in order to retain her Caribbean sugar islands. Britain gained all territory east of the Mississippi River; Spain kept territory west of the Mississippi, but exchanged East and West Florida for Cuba.

7 October: Proclamation of 1763

Wary of the cost of defending the colonies, George III prohibited all settlement west of the Appalachian mountains without guarantees of security from local Native American nations. The intervention in colonial affairs offended the thirteen colonies' claim to the exclusive right to govern lands to their west.

1764

5 April: Sugar Act

The first attempt to finance the defence of the colonies by the British Government. In order to deter smuggling and to encourage the production of British rum, taxes on molasses were dropped; a levy was placed on foreign Madeira wine and colonial exports of iron, lumber and other goods had to pass first through Britain and British customs. The Act established a Vice-Admiralty Court in Halifax, Nova Scotia to hear smuggling cases without jury and with the presumption of guilt. These measures led to widespread protest.

1765

22 March: Stamp Act

Seeking to defray some of the costs of garrisoning the colonies, Parliament required all legal documents, newspapers and pamphlets required to use watermarked, or 'stamped' paper on which a levy was placed.

15 May: Quartering Act

Colonial assemblies required to pay for supplies to British garrisons. The New York assembly argued that it could not be forced to comply.

30 May: Virginian Resolution

The Virginian assembly refused to comply with the Stamp Act.

7-25 October: Stamp Act Congress

Representatives from nine of the thirteen colonies declare the Stamp Act unconstitutional as it was a tax levied without their consent.

1766

18 March: Declaratory Act

Parliament finalises the repeal of the Stamp Act, but declares that it has the right to tax colonies

1767

29 June: Townshend Revenue Act (Townshend Duties)

Duties on tea, glass, lead, paper and paint to help pay for the administration of the colonies, named after Charles Townshend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer. John Dickinson publishes Letter from a Philadelphian Farmer in protest. Colonial assemblies condemn taxation without representation.

1768

1 October: British troops arrive in Boston in response to political unrest

1770s

July: Publication of Thomas Hutchinson letters

In these letters, Hutchinson, the Massachusetts governor, advocated a 'great restraint of natural liberty', convincing many colonists of a planned British clamp-down on their freedoms.

10 May: Tea Act

In an effort to support the ailing East India Company, Parliament exempted its tea from import duties and allowed the Company to sell its tea directly to the colonies. Americans resented what they saw as an indirect tax subsidising a British company.

Angered by the Tea Acts, American patriots disguised as Mohawk Indians dump £9,000 of East India Company tea into the Boston harbour.

1774

Why did colonialism make it difficult for democracy to take hold in many nations in africa?
Vlada [557]

Answer: The instability of the governments caused this

Explanation: Due to the instability of the government of colonial powers mainly caused by the end of the Second World War this caused major revolutions and radical change in these African nations. As the once famed British Empire and French Empire collapsed, countries in Africa sparked independence movements in radical ways, such as communism. As you know, communism oppresses the people, and there was a counter revolution, and vice versa. This has been a vicious cycle in African nations, which makes democracy pretty hard to thrive.
