The correct answers are The Stamp Act was the first direct tax levied by England on the colonists and it sparked protest in the colonies. The Stamp Act was an act passed by the British Parliament in 1765. The purpose of this act was to raise money to pay for the debt of the French and Indian War and to defend the colonies. This measure constituted the first direct tax imposed on the colonies. Consequently, the American colonies reacted to this measure invocating the principle of ‘no taxation without representation’ as they believed that the mother country could not tax them without their own consent. This measure’s effect was popular resentment among the colonists, who began to protest against the measures taken by Britain. In fact, the Stamp Act Congress was held that same year to demand the repeal of the Stamp Act. Eventually, Britain repealed the Stamp Act in 1766.

<span>The Stamp Act of 1765 was the first internal tax levied directly on American colonists by the British government. The act, which imposed a tax on all paper documents in the colonies, came at a time when the British Empire was deep in debt from the Seven Years’ War (1756-63) and looking to its North American colonies as a revenue source. Arguing that only their own representative assemblies could tax them, the colonists insisted that the act was unconstitutional, and they resorted to mob violence to intimidate stamp collectors into resigning. Parliament repealed the Stamp Act in 1766, but issued a Declaratory Act at the same time to reaffirm its authority to pass any colonial legislation it saw fit. The issues of taxation and representation raised by the Stamp Act strained relations with the colonies to the point that, 10 years later, the colonists rose in armed rebellion against the British.</span>

Alexxx [7]

1 – EUROPE:

1.1 – In 1760, the Industrial Revolution was limited, first, to England. There were the emergence of cotton fabric industries, with the use of mechanical looms. At that time the improvement of steam engines contributed to the continuation of the Revolution.

1.2 - The Enlightenment was an intellectual movement that emerged during the eighteenth century in Europe, which advocated the use of reason (light) against the old regime (darkness) and preached greater economic and political freedom.

Some thinkers became famous and stood out for their works and ideas in this period. Examples: Voltaire, Rousseau and John Locke ( considered the father of enlightment).

2 – CHINA :

In the mid of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth century, the structure of Asian trade changed substantially. Trade relations between Asia and Europe accounted for a greater volume of goods and greater financial value than Asia-Asia trade, with the opium trade in Southeast Asia (Macau) being the largest among Europeans, especially the British, and the Chinese Empire.

3 – AMERICA :

Seven Years' War

This war occurred between England and France between the years 1756 and 1763. It was a war for possession of territories in North America and England was victorious. Even so, the metropolis decided to recover the losses of the colonists' battles that inhabited, mainly, the colonies of the north. With the rise of metropolitan taxes and taxes, settlers made protests and demonstrations against England.

The British King, George III, continued to adopt increasing restrictive measures, especially after the First Congress in Philadelphia in 1774. The colony revolt was boosting, which influenced the independence process.

In 1776, settlers gathered at the Second Congress in Philadelphia aiming to achieve independence. During the congress, Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. However, England did not accept the independence of its colonies and declared war. The War of Independence, which occurred between 1776 and 1783, was won by the United States with the support of France and Spain.
