<p>to what extent did economic issues provoke the American revolution</p>
<p>how do you answer to "what extent", like how to put that into thesis</p>
<p>Just something indicating the degree of which economic issues did provoke the American Revolution.</p>
<p>Example: (You were just discussing economic issues generally) These economic issues provided some impetus for the American War of Independence, but they were not the sole cause for its declaration.</p>
<p>Obviously, you would have to discuss other factors in your essay with that thesis, but you should know that.</p>
