In the beginning of the war, the French were the ones with all the advantages. Their fierce army and strong defenses allowed them to win many battles. However, in 1757 the British had a new leader, William Pitt. Pitt saw colonial disputes as a hidden path to building a gigantic British empire. He completely restored the British way of fighting.
The British attacked the French in the town of Quebec in 1759. James Wolfe, a British commander daringly forces his troops up a rocky hill to blindside the French. Later, both The French commander and Wolfe were killed in battle on the Plaines of Abraham. The British earned power and authority over this relevant territory. The battles that followed dominated the French, allowing British victory at Montreal. The British gained control over the territories. This caused the French to be defeated.
The French and Indian war had a massive debt for the British to pay. The Parliament agreed that the American colonists should be taxed to help pay war bills. They said that the British had worked extremely hard to protect the colonists from the French, they owed them.
Most colonist disagreed. They believed England had only fought in the costly war for their own benefit. For wealth and strong empire. Also considering the fact that members of the Parliament were elected by the people of England. This lead Americans to believe that the member of Parliament could not fulfill the colonists needs. They also agreed that since they didn't elect these officials they should not be represented by them. Therefore, Parliament didn't have the rights to tax them. Colonists began ranting "No taxation without representation." Thus, leading into the American Revolution.
