The British victory in the French and Indian War had a great impact on the British Empire. Firstly, it meant a great expansion of British territorial claims in the New World. But the cost of the war had greatly enlarged Britain's debt. ... The war had an equally profound but very different effect on the American colonists.
One reason the British and colonists had conflict with one another was because the king in of England had raised the taxes on tea.

This event was known as the Boston Tea Party.
