Question

What impact did the French and Indian War have on the British and their American colonies?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The French and Indian War began in 1754 and ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The war provided Great Britain enormous territorial gains in North America, but disputes over subsequent frontier policy and paying the war's expenses led to colonial discontent, and ultimately to the American Revolution.

Answer 2

Explanation:

• The relationship between Britain and its American colonies was altered because of the French and Indian War.

• Britain grew more active in its political, colonial and economic affairs because of the war.  

• Britain increased their authority over colonies by abandoning Salutary Neglect.

• It started to impose more regulations and taxes illegitimately on the colonies because of the war
• This caused the feeling of resentment more than toleration toward Britain among the colonists thus leading to American Revolution.
• The colonists learnt to unite against a common enemy, Britain.
• Before the war the thirteen colonies had no common ground and existed in mutual distrust.
