Answer:

After the French and Indian War, tension between Great Britain and its colonies increased.

Step-by-step explanation:

The French and Indian War led to the American Revolution of the Thirteen Colonies against the British domination. At the end of the war, Britain imposed exorbitant taxes on its colonies, under the pretext that the war had been waged to protect the colonies, so they had to bear a part of the costs. These taxes drowned their economy, which led, among others, to the Boston Tea Party.

Moreover, when the settlers lost the only neighboring power able to defeat them, they no longer needed the British army to defend themselves. The only enemies they had to face were the natives, whom they had managed to subdue so far. The British had forced many settlers to participate actively in the war so that in the colonies lived many veterans who knew how to apply war tactics and who, more importantly, had discovered that they were capable of defeating larger armies.
