In what ways did the French and Indian war lead to the American Revolution?

Answer 1

Most historians agree that the revolutionary era began in 1763, when Britain defeated France in the French and Indian War and the military threat to the colonies from France ended. The end of the Revolution is usually marked by the Treaty of Paris in 1783, with the recognition of the United States as an independent nation. However, references to the "revolutionary era" sometimes stretch to 1789, when the new national government under George Washington began operating.

Answer 2

During the French Indian war, the colonial army assisted the French(then an allie) in securing regions of Canada from the indians. The crown of England was unsettled by the colonists siding with France, who at the time was at or near war with England. Long story short; when passed over for promotion, and choice field assignment, Benedict Arnold(whose name is ever since sunonomouse with 'traitor',) reported troop strengths, and logistical information to the British, thus accellerating other events which ultimately lead to The revolutionary War.

Answer 3

The French and Indian War was, like all wars, very expensive. This led to Parliament levying more taxes on the colonies--their reasoning was that the war had primarily benefited the colonists, so they ought to bear a portion of the cost.

Since the colonies had no representation in Parliament, they weren't too happy about this. Moreover, they had set up many of their own institutions of government during what is sometimes called the period of "salutary neglect," in which the Crown and Parliament pretty much let the colonists deal with local matters in their own way. Once people get a taste of independence, it's hard to rein them back in.

The French and Indian War also gave military experience to people who later played key roles in the Revolutionary War, notably George Washington.

Answer 4

It didn't.
The primary cause that lead the colonists to revolt was:
Taxation without representation.
Britian was taxing New Colonies but not allowing them a voice in Government.

Remember the Boston Tea Party?

Thus a revolt.
