Bad relationships, colonial feelings, and gaining military experience from the French and Indian War helped lead to the American Revolution. When the London government issued the Proclamation of 1673, the colonists realized that Great Britain was the only thing left standing in their way of becoming an independent nation.

Along with the Proclamation of 1673, the Molasses Act was another reason that the colonists wanted to completely break away from Great Britain. The Molasses Act stated that the American colonies could only trade with England. This meant that America was even more dependent on England for vital things in their economy. But after they defeated the other European nations, they decided it was time to take a stand against England. Along with establishing the Molasses Act and the Proclamation of 1673, the British raised the taxes on their traded goods. All of these things getting compiled together, made the colonies even more angry and motivated to rebel (fight) against Great Britain.

Because during the French and Indian War all other European groups were defeated, along with the Indians, England was the only thing that was left to control the colonies. There weren't any other threats in America at this time, except for England. Plus, now that there weren't any other threats in the colonies, they no longer needed the protection of the British. So if the British were no longer needed, why keep them around?

The colonies could also feel more confident/independent about their nation, and fighting the British, because the had more military experience. Fighting in the French and Indian War against the British, helped the colonists learn how they fought and what their weaknesses were. The colonists fought the British using gorialla warfare. During the war, the learned that the British did not do well in combat against them. Also, while they were fighting in the French and Indian War, the colonists had banded together to form one militia. When different groups come together to form one strong military force, it shows that they are coming together as a people and preparing to fight as one nation and all fighting for the same cause.

The French and Indian War played a large role in the development of the American Revolution. Bad relationships, colonial feelings, and gaining military experience from the war, helped lead to the American Revolution. All of these aspects came out of the French and Indian War. Because of these outcomes, the Americans had reason enough to want to strike out successfully towards the British.
