The French and Indian War (1754-1763) resulted in Britain acquiring significant territories in North America, but it also left Britain with substantial debt. To help pay off this debt and cover the costs of defending the newly acquired lands, Britain imposed various taxes on the American colonists, such as the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts. These taxes were a way for Britain to recover financially and assert control over the colonies, which ultimately led to colonial resistance and the push for independence.
