Answer:
In 1754, the French and Indian War broke out between France and Great Britain, a colonial war over the dominance of the Great Lakes region. The combatants in the conflict were the Quebec colonies on the French side, and the American colonies on the British side, which was the one that finally prevailed in the contest. After this war, the British found themselves in deficit with respect to their finances in the colonies, which they attributed to the expenses of the war, for which they decided to impose taxes on their American territories. The colonists, who had been the ones who had fought and defended the colonies, saw this imposition as illegitimate, as Britain had not had a real participation in the conflict and, furthermore, they were not represented in Parliament. Therefore, they took a series of protest measures, after which King George imposed new restrictions on the freedoms of the settlers, which turned into an escalation of tensions that finally led to the American Revolutionary War.
