Detailed explanation-1: -Britain’s debt from the French and Indian War led it to try to consolidate control over its colonies and raise revenue through direct taxation (e.g., Stamp Act, Townshend Acts, Tea Act, and Intolerable Acts), generating tensions between Great Britain and its North American colonies.
Detailed explanation-2: -The British gain a large amount of land from the French at the end of the French and Indian War.
