Questions: Question 18 According to the lecture, which of the following events created the conditions that led to the American Revolution A The French and Indian War. (B) The Glorious Revolution. (C) The French Revolution. (D) Lord Dunmore's War. (E) Bacon's Rebellion.

The answer is A The French and Indian War.

The French and Indian War (1754-1763) was a significant precursor to the American Revolution. It led to substantial British debt, prompting the British government to impose taxes on the American colonies, such as the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts, to recoup costs. These taxes and the lack of colonial representation in Parliament fueled colonial discontent and set the stage for revolutionary sentiments.

The Glorious Revolution (1688) was a significant event in British history that established parliamentary sovereignty over the monarchy. While it influenced political thought in the colonies, it did not directly create conditions for the American Revolution.

The French Revolution (1789-1799) occurred after the American Revolution and was influenced by it. It did not contribute to the conditions leading to the American Revolution.

Lord Dunmore's War (1774) was a conflict between the Colony of Virginia and the Shawnee and Mingo American Indian nations. It was not a direct cause of the American Revolution, although it did occur in the same period of rising tensions.

Bacon's Rebellion (1676) was an armed rebellion in Virginia against the rule of Governor William Berkeley. While it highlighted colonial discontent with local governance, it was not directly related to the causes of the American Revolution.
