Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The American Indians were fighting to maintain control of their land and their cultural future. The French claimed the Upper Ohio River Valley. They wanted to trade with the American Indians and control the area. The British also claimed the Upper Ohio River Valley.
Detailed explanation-3: -How did the aftermath of the Proclamation of 1763 show the growing tension between Parliament and the colonies? Many angry settlers ignored the proclamation and moved westward. Most settlers disliked the proclamation but agreed to move eastward.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
