Which of the following was a major consequence of the French and Indian War (1754-1763) for Great Britain?

Core Concept

The French and Indian War ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763, in which France ceded Canada and all its territories east of the Mississippi River to Great Britain. This significantly expanded British territorial holdings in North America. However, the war also left Britain with substantial war debts, which would later lead to increased taxation of the colonies and contribute to colonial unrest.
