Answer:

The Seven Years War (French and Indian War)

Explanation:

In the mid 1700s, the French and Indian war broke out. This war lasted about 9 years. 1754 to 1763. After the war, the British Parliament was heavily in debt and needed money. Britain decided it would be a good idea to exploit the American colonies for money since the colonies were under British control.
