A main reason for the differences of Western Europe and Russia is their initial time periods. The beginning of the uprising of Western Europe is in 476 AD once the Western Roman Empire finally came to an end. More than 400 years after the spark of Western Europe, Russian civilization would begin. By that time, Vikings had already ravaged Europe, Germans had invaded and ruled England, and Charlemagne had stabilized Western Europe and brought peace to his kingdom and the surrounding regions during his reign. Russia would only begin to be influenced by Christianity until the late 10th century.

So when the French and Indian War ended in America, and the indebted England needed some compensation from American settlers in the form of taxes, the colonists questioned the authority of England and their ability to rule them.

The many different Acts created resentment throughout the colonies towards their mother country. The French and Indian War also had the effect on the colonies and the colonists because they all fought together and were unified. Before the war, the colonies were very untrustful of each other, but the war helped them fight against a common enemy. The French and Indian War caused Britain to enforce

To begin with, the French and Indian War created political changes between Britain and the colonies. After the war, Britain saw they needed to have a stronger relationship with the Native Americans in the colonies (Doc B).

The British colonists had felt confidence in their ability to fight because of the experience they gained during the French and Indian War.

How did colonists come to be so divided in their feelings about the British? Most Americans were happy with the rule of the British action in the early 1700's. Great Britain and the colonies had to fight a war with the French and Indian allies. The French and Indian War had left

The French and Indian War and its aftermath significantly affected the relationship between Great Britain and the British colonies since this conflict was instrumental in causing the American Revolutionary War to occur. Firstly, salutary neglect ended following the French and Indian War, which meant a lot of the prohibitive laws no one really complied with became strictly enforced by British officials much to the dismay of the English colonists. Secondly, the British rested the burden of paying off a considerable amount of their debt that they amassed due to how expensive the French and Indian War was upon the English colonists by taxing them when they had no representation whatsoever in the British government. Thirdly, as a result of the tyrannical regime set up by Parliament in the Thirteen Colonies, many organizations emerged to oppose the British.

Ever heard of the phrase, “the enemy of my enemy, is my friend.” This is how the colonist saw great Britain during this war. They didn't like Britain, but because of the certain circumstances they had to fight with them to win the war against France.

After having years of benign British neglect, and after capably governing themselves, the people in the American colonies were not pleased when the British Parliament decided after the end of the successful end of the French Indian War in 1763 to become more engaged in the American colonists’ affairs.

The history leading up to the American Revolution is very interesting. The aftermath of the French and Indian war played a big role in what began the colonists dissent against Great Britain. At the start of the war the colonist were glad that the redcoats were there to protect them but after the fall of Washington at Fort Necessity they started to feel disappointed towards them. After the war, Great Britain, although they won, was left with huge amounts of debt. Because of the cost to train troops and the debt the British wanted the colonist to pay their fair share.
