Answer

The French and Indian War impacted the colonies economically. As a result of the war, the British were able to expand their influence in the Ohio Valley. This meant the British would profit even more from the lucrative fur trade now that France had left the area.

Step-by-step explanation:

The French and Indian War began in 1754 and ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The war provided Great Britain enormous territorial gains in North America, but disputes over subsequent frontier policy and paying the war's expenses led to colonial discontent, and ultimately to the American Revolution.

The french and Indian war affected the 13 colonies by putting them in risk of danger and in lots of debt. King George then forced(or tried at least) taxes upon them. This sparked the american revolution.
