Answer:
C. French and Indian War
Step-by-step explanation:
Up until the French and Indian war, England largely ignored its American colonies, so the colonists were left alone to govern themselves.
After the war the British incurred a huge debt as a result of the cost used to make it a success. This made the British adopt measures such as taxation to pay it off. They heavily taxed their colonists which led to a backlash and subsequent revolutionary war between the British and the colonists.
