USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The French and Indian War was very essential to the American Revolution because the war debt was the reason that Parliament started imposing taxes on the colonists in the first place. Also, the French and Indian War weakened Britain, making the colonists’ actions work more effectively.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -After the war, they stationed British soldiers in the former French forts, which was expensive. In order to help pay for the soldiers, the British government decided to start taxing the American colonists, which they had never done before. The colonists had only been taxed by their own colonial governments.

Detailed explanation-4: -The French and Indian War ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris in February 1763. The British received Canada from France and Florida from Spain, but permitted France to keep its West Indian sugar islands and gave Louisiana to Spain.

Detailed explanation-5: -How did the French and Indian War lead to a colonial movement to manufacture American-made products? The British taxed American imports in an effort to pay the war debt. The Patriots felt that they should have some say in how they were taxed. Loyalists felt that they had some representation from the British.
