How did the 1763 Treaty of Paris - which ended the French and Indian (Seven Year’s) War – help start the American Revolution? 

• Since the treaty reduced the French threat, the British wanted to reduce their military presence, but still get the colonies to pay for the war.
• The treaty led to an increase in British military presence in the colonies, including having colonists quarter soldiers in peace time.
• Once the treaty was signed, the colonies had more in common with France than with Great Britain.
• The treaty gave Great Britain access to more land and they began to completely ignore the original colonies.
