Britain had to finance its army defending the American colonies to hold off the invading French and their Indian allies. They levied taxes to help pay for this, and many of the American colonists didn't want to pay and organised a revolt.

About the French and Indian War?

The British vs. French and Indian (native American) allies. It was about control of the land in the Ohio River which stretched from minnesota to Louisiana alongside the 13 colonies.

How did the british taxes lead to greater cooperatin among the colonies?

With the British taxes, the colonies were forced to pay, making them less able to use their extra money to employ/trade with other nations, but they definitely didn't lead to more cooperation. If anything, they led to more upset and turmoil, especially the Townsend Acts and the Quartering Act. But what the British asked wasn't really unreasonable- it just seemed so to the colonies because they had become used to a policy of salutary neglect.

How did the French and Indian war lead to the Revolutionary War'?

After the French and Indian War was concluded, British soldiers remained in America, and taxes were imposed on Americans to defer the cost of the war. As the taxes were not exorbitant, I think it was the presence of the British soldiers which made many Americans believe they had become more American than British, and they should be a separate country.
