Question

Which of the following results of the French and Indian War was a cause of the American Revolutionary War? A: Native Americans lost large amounts of territory. B: Britain incurred a large debt as a result of the war. C: France ceded land in Canada and east of the Mississippi to Britain. D: Spain ceded Florida to Britain and gained land west of the Mississippi.

Answer 1

As a result of the French and Indian War the British incurred a large debt. This large debt helped to dictate British policy in regards to the colonies for the the next decade. In an attempt to regain lost money as a result of the war the British levied large taxes on the colonies, which in turn greatly angered the colonists which helped to foment rebellion and ultimately the Revolutionary War. Therefore, the answer is (B). 

Answer 2

The answer is B.

Britain won the war, but they also had a major debt. To pay for the debt, they started overtaxing America. This of course caused the Americans to declare their independence, and thus the Revolutionary War began.
