D. French & Indian War
The French & Indian War (1754-1763) marked the end of the period known as "salutary neglect." Following the war, Britain sought to increase revenue from the American colonies to pay off war debts and enforce stricter regulations, leading to increased tensions between the colonies and the British government.
