Answer:
The United States decided to stay neutral in the 1920’s and 1930’s.
The reason for the United States decision was because they wanted to stay
as an isolationist country. The United States did not want to be a part of other
nations affairs. Instead they wanted to focus on their own problems. They
also did not want to be a part of the war. In the beginning the ideas about
neutrality started to change when President Roosevelt wanted to support
China. He did not want to follow the Neutrality Acts. The President decided to
use the Cash-and-Carry system. He believed that helping democratic
governments was way more important than keeping the U.S neutral. We start
to see the ideas about neutrality alter when Roosevelt signed the Lend-Lease
Act. This authorized Roosevelt to sell arms or protective aid to other nations
without them having to pay in cash.
Explanation:
Parliament raised taxes on the colonies after the French and Indian War because the British government was in debt.
During the French and Indian War, British prime minister William Pitt allowed the British military to spend as much money as they wanted in order to defeat the French in North America. This ultimately lead to significant debt for the British govenrment.
The British government turned to the colonists to pay off this debt, as they felt it was only fair that the colonists pay for the protection the British military provided the colonists against the French. However, the colonists did not respond well to these taxes because they had no representation in Parliament. This is why the colonists cried "no taxation without representation" in protest of the British government. This would become one of the main reasons for the colonists declaring independence from the British empire.
