Causes of the French and Indian War Great Britain and France were powerful countries in the 1700’s and were involved in many wars to prove who is stronger.

Taxes, Laws, and More Taxes Prior to 1764, the British government had pretty much left the colonists alone to govern themselves. In 1764, they began to impose new laws and taxes. They implemented several laws including the Sugar Act, Currency Act, Quartering Act, and the Stamp Act.  The colonists were not happy with the new taxes. They said they should not have to pay British taxes because they had no representatives in the British Parliament. Their motto became "No Taxation Without Representation."
