The Seven Years War Affected Great Britain's Economic Relationship

The Seven Years war was a major turning point in America’s relations with Britain because it caused colonists to be objective against Britain. The House of Commons (Britain’s government) was

     The Seven Years War proved to be a crossroads in the history of British colonial rule in America. Britain was victorious, but after defeating her French foes (along with their Indian allies), Britain was left to contemplate the ramifications of a war that would leave her relationship with her American colonies altered forever. This change would eventually lead to conflict between the colonies and Britain, and ultimately the Declaration of American Independence.

To begin, the Seven Years War, fought by the French along side the Indians versus the American colonies along side the British, carried a considerable cost for everyone involved. The American colonies and Britain ended up coming out on top, however, due to the sacrifice of the British jumping in to help. The only downfall was that “the royal ministries believed that the colonists should pay for their share of the costs of Britain’s (and their own) glory”. (txtbook) However, the radical new view of Americanized government believed that if new taxes were to be imposed that they should be able to have a part in their creation. This new belief was “no taxation without representation” and challenged King

While ideological differences may have contributed to the change from a friendly relationship to a hostile one, economics became a major factor as well. The British policy of salutary neglect originally had the colonists enjoying the benefits of trade and protection from the British without having the discomfort of rigid control. However, as the war progressed the British changed from the well-liked policy of salutary

War debt from the Seven Years War caused the British to impose taxes on colonists. The Sugar act caused the colonies to protest “Taxation without representation!” This eventually led to boycotting British goods hurting the war weakened Britain. Once news of the American Revolution had spread, France gladly chose to help America in hopes to severely cripple Britain.

For many, after the dreadful seven years’ war all thought it could only get better. Britain sustained a massive debt leaving them in a hole so deep you could not see light. Britain had sought to acquire all nessary funds to help lessen the debt as much as possible, leaving the people angered, especially people from the colonies. Britain began to impose an abundance of unsanctioned taxes on them. The American colonist were infuriated with such actions, arguing that they it was not consulted. In accordance to all these events many had took it up themselves to express their opinion with action.

The Seven Years War, also known as the French and Indian War was the whole reason that the British started to intervene. They did so through taxation. The French and Indian war left Britain with a large amount of war debt and they imposed taxes on goods in the colonies to help them pay it off. The colonies were tired of their daily lives being interrupted by the British government and they eventually fought the war for Independence against what was considered one of the most powerful armies in the world.

The Seven Years’ War also known as the French and Indian War lasted from 1754 to 1763. The war created conflict between the British forces, American colonies and Indians through political, economic and ideological aspects. Not only the colonist affected, but the Indian’s fight for independence soon began after the war. The events and battles of the Seven Years’ War would lead the colonist to helping the British defeat the French and have different laws be placed to improve the economy. What took place during the Seven Years War would affect the colonist forever. The war would ultimately change the focus and mindset of the colonist. The Seven Years’ War started the colonist to develop a mindset of power and independence, and finally break free

The French and Indian War which occurred throughout the years of 1754 through 1763, radically affected the political, economical and ideological affiliation of the British and its American colonies. Their relationship was mainly distorted politically due to Britain's control of the entire eastern coastline, economically when British policies were intended to raise income because profits were insufficient and ideologically when Britain’s hierarchical army set off American protest including Britain imposing the need for greater imperial control. The French and Indian War, also called the Seven Years War was the event that provoked the American Revolution as well as it leading to certain events that caused Americans to recognize that their resistance

King George the III and Parliament decided to make British Colonies pay for the war debt from the French and Indian War or also known as the Seven Year War.The taxes were paid on a printed material.

In another words, this war was the cause of several source of tension developed between the British and the colonists. Specifically, the costs of the Seven Years War left Britain in poor financial situation. In order to pay the cost of its fighting, members of the Parliament chose to tax the colonists because they believed that God gave them the absolute monarch power to tax the colonists, who destined to be Britain’s subjects. Also, in order to prevent misunderstanding, the Parliament clearly stated reasons explaining why they decided to tax the colonists: Great Britain had fought the war in order to protect the colonists from the powerful French in Canada.

With the end of all of the colonial wars in 1763, Britain faced an immense debt on top of a massive territory that needed to be protected and governed. A large piece of the new territory was previously populated by Native American and French enemies. In order to deal with theses problems which became increasingly worse with a post-war recession in England, Britain needed to raise money. British officials felt they could not tax British citizens more, as that may have created domestic unrest. They felt they could not raise trade regulations or tariffs too steeply, as that could have increased the possibility of smuggling.

The Seven Year’s War impacted colonial development in Canada as the British gained control of majority of Canada’s land and had dominant power due to their victory against the French colonies. As a result of the war and the Treaty, it ended French political and cultural influence in Canada. It also had influenced colonial development as people were to abide the laws and constitutions were developed by British with Queen of England being the head of state. Further, Aboriginal people were excluded from the Treaty of Paris as lands were divided with no provision for the Aboriginal people’s lands.
