A) He convinced the British Parliament to send more men and supplies to the colonies in North America

During William Pitt’s time as Prime Minister, England was engaged in a global conflict with France, a conflict of which the French and Indian War was only one theater. With the aim of eradicating French stake in the North American continent, William Pitt spent large sums of money on the French and Indian War, sums of money the colonies believed came from England. After the war, Britain imposed taxes on the colonies in an attempt to regain the money lost to expenses in the French and Indian War. These taxes were ill received, hence the Revolutionary-Turned-Independence War
