Answer 1

The British government needing money to pay off war debt from the French and Indian War contributed to growing tensions between the British and the American colonists. The British imposed taxes and regulations on the American colonies, which the colonists felt were unfair and led to the American Revolution.

Step-by-step explanation:

An outcome of the French and Indian War that contributed to growing tensions between the British and the American colonists was that the British government needed money to pay off debt from the war.

This financial burden led the British government to impose taxes and regulations on the American colonies in order to generate revenue.

The colonists, however, felt that they were being unfairly taxed without representation and this eventually led to the American Revolution.
