How did the French and Indian War contribute to the American Revolution? France wanted revenge after losing the war and negotiated with the colonies to fight England.

American Indians that fought in the war supported the colonies and encouraged them to fight the British.

England went into debt because of the war and decided to tax the colonies to get their money back.

England was unhappy with the colonies performance in the war and punished them with taxes.

The war started off by the British and French having a border dispute that led to a seven year long global conflict. This war was won by the British, but by entering in this war, they went broke. In order to restore economic balance, they taxed the colonies. In the long run, this made the colonies fed up with the British demanding more money. This sparked the American revolution, and it also brought France and Spain into this as they were both bitter about the war and took any chance to weaken Britain.
