The Seven Years' War
The Seven Years' War, a conflict between Britain and France, ended in America in 1763. After the French defeat, colonists were eager to move west across the Appalachian Mountains. However, this angered the American Indians, who began to capture British forts. In response, the British issued the Proclamation of 1763, which saved all land west of the Appalachians for Indians. This act angered the colonists.
During the war, Britain borrowed a large amount of money, which they had to pay back. They were in debt, so they began to tax the colonists. As the British Parliament had never taxed the colonists before, this caused a lot of anger.
