How did the French and Indian war affect the British and ultimately the colonies?

Due to the French-Indian War, relationships between the British and the colonists started to change. The British began to tax the colonists heavily which the colonists resented. With the passing of the Proclamation of 1763, the British tried to avoid conflict with the Indians but it prevent colonist from traveling West to establish colonies. Another oppressive policy was the Quartering Act that required colonists to allow British soldiers against their will. The many laws passed on the colonies were done with consulting the colonists and this pushed them to brink of war. Eventually it resulted to the War of Independence.
