What problem did Britain have after the French and Indian War?

The British thought the colonists should help pay for the cost of their own protection. Furthermore, the French and Indian War had cost the British treasury £70,000,000 and doubled their national debt to £140,000,000. Compared to this staggering sum, the colonists' debts were extremely light, as was their tax burden.

What was the result of the British winning the French and Indian War?

The British had won the French and Indian War. They took control of the lands that had been claimed by France (see below). France lost its mainland possessions to North America. Britain now claimed all the land from the east coast of North America to the Mississippi River.

What problems were brought about for the British in the victory of the French and Indian War?

Britain's victory in the French and Indian War caused two main problems. The first is the substantial debt incurred by Britain in both the war and the maintenance of standing troops after the war. In an attempt to recoup funds, Britain passed the Sugar Act which imposed duties and angered many colonists.
