anonymous · Answer

the french and indian war lead to tension because then the British government had to pay for weapons and such to win the fight- resulting in them falling into a lot of debt. then, to pay it off King George the third decided to tax the colonists with Acts like the Stamp Act and Sugar Act , which the American colonists hated. They revolted and caused trouble for Britian with riots, the boston tea party, and battles, which was basically the tension.
