Answer:
Britain's success in defeating the French Empire laid the foundation for future failures in dealing with its colonial subjects because these started to rebel against their rules and measures to recover from war.
Explanation:
The French and Indian War (also known as The Seven Years' War) caused a major debt to the British Empire since the cost of this war was too high. The measures they took in order to recover from their loss included unfair taxation and collection of revenue. The colonists reacted against these laws and taxes by organizing riots, protests and boycotts. They did not want the British to interfere with their colonial affairs and especially in an authoritarian way. The British enforced military presence to deal with the angry colonists and kept imposing taxes over time, this is why these events were the foundation for the battle over their independence.
