The expansion of British territory in North America by 1763 was primarily the result of the British victory in the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), also known as the French and Indian War in the American context. The Treaty of Paris in 1763 ceded vast territories from France to Britain, including Canada and land east of the Mississippi River. This territorial gain aimed to consolidate British power in North America and mitigate French influence, while also increasing the challenges of governing and managing the diverse populations residing in these new territories.
The Seven Years war was caused by the French and the British both laying claim to territory in North America (as well as India).
The French settled on British territory so the war was for territory
The French & Indian Was was the expansion of the British - French fight for supremacy onto North American soil. Both sides worked to attract the many Indian tribes to their side, although the white colonists in North America heavily favored the British. The war affected North America because the British defeated the French in the New World, thereby setting the stage for the British vs colonist American Revolution.

The colonies were founded to search for gold and other riches, and expansion of power.
the trouble was caused by unionist/British hegemony.They treated Catholics like the K.K.K did the black people in America.

American settlers began to settle in the area threatening British hold on the territory.

We lost respect. The idea of manifest destiny was good for the country, but the war with Mexico caused much bloodshed.
The British moved to North America for varying reasons, not one large, specific reason. Hope of a better living, to get away from the country, perhaps just for an adventure. Although not British, the Irish potato famine caused millions of Irish to emigrate to North America. The British government failed to support the Irish properly during this time, perhaps causing more Irish to emigrate than otherwise.
