How did the french and India war lead to the American Revolution?

The French and Indian War (1754-1763) heightened tensions between Britain and its American colonies due to the enormous debt incurred by Britain to finance the war. To recover costs, Britain imposed a series of taxes on the colonies, such as the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts, which fueled resentment among colonists who felt they were being taxed without representation. This growing discontent and desire for self-governance ultimately contributed to the outbreak of the American Revolution in 1775. The war altered colonial attitudes toward British authority, setting the stage for a quest for independence.
