The French and Indian War had heavy impacts on Britain and the American colonies. By the end of the war, Britain had fallen into substantial debt and tried to ameliorate by placing their financial burdens onto the colonists.

The French and Indian war, also known as the Seven Year war, dramatically affected the relations between the colonists and Britain in political, economic and ideological ways. The cost of the war was a direct cause to the change in the relations between the two bodies economically, and had the most effect on the colonists being that Britain placed revenues on the colonies to raise money to pay off their war debt. On the other hand the two bodies were most affected through their political and ideological relations during the coming years that led to the Revolutionary War. Britain, in repressing the colonies and imposing restrictions on them, actually caused the ideological reactions of independence and liberty to travel through the colonies and effect more colonists.
