Answer 1

Answer:

England began imposing taxes on the colonists to pay off debts.

Explanation:

England was victorious during the French and Indian Wars, and obtained several territories of what used to be New France.

However, the victory in the war came at a great expense, and the British crown was essentially bankrupt. For this reason, the monarch decided to levy new taxes on the American Colonies, some of those, very expensive and arbitrary, like the stamp tax.

This angered the American colonists, who demanded no taxation without representation in the British Parliament, and was one of the leading events of the American Revolutionary War.
