After the British, with the help of the colonists, had defeated the French in the French and Indian War (1756-1763), they acquired much more territory in need of protection against Indian attacks, including not only soldiers but forts and weapons. The British were deeply in debt from the war. The British Parliament thought it was reasonable to tax the colonists to help pay for the increased cost of protection, even though it was mostly the British monarchy and not the colonists already in place who would mostly benefit from the expanded territory.
