Why do you think European nations supported the colonists rather than great Britain?

The French and Indian War had drastically changed the balance of power in North America. The French and Spanish had lost a large expanse of valuable land to the British. The European Nations decided to help the colonists because they (the Europeans) were enemies themselves of the British.After the Seven Years War and French and Indian War, Britain became the major power in Europe. Spain and French, the two European nations that aided the colonies during the American War of Independence, had a lot to gain if Britain lost.Not that much happened. While the French helped the Colonies fight on land, the British soundly defeated any attempts to take the West Indies, which were of higher importance.Some European nations such as France and Spain supported the colonists because they thought once they got Great Britain out of the picture than they could take control of the colonists.To cut Britain down to size. They certainly had no reason to support Britain, which was keeping them out of its colonial trade. Empire is a cut-throat business, and the last thing you want is someone else having one.The foreign nations that supported the colonists were either at war with the British, or were afraid of Britain declaring war on them. France took a big chance when they supported the colonists.

Why did the British impose new taxes after the French and Indian Wars?

The reason the British taxed the Colonists after the French and Indian War was they were in debt from the war because they spent so much money on it.They had went into debt after the war because they ued all there money for it(most). They had to get the money and they believed they should tax the colonists because they were the ones who were protecting them(the colonies). I think the first tax was the Stamp Act. Then the quartering act that forced the colonists to feed and house the troops........


What did the British do to America?

Before the French and Indian war Britain promised colonists that they wouldn't tax Them in order to pay thei debt of the war, and instead promised to give them land, however they did the exact opposite. The colonists received no land, and to pay off the debt of the war they started putting taxes on things causing the tea act, stamp act, sugar act, etc.
