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.
The British gained much more land, however they were in great debt. Because of their debt, they expected the colonists to pay for it. The British began to make many ‘laws’ such as the stamp act and tea act.
