The trigger for the American Revolutionary War was the Boston Tea Party.

A large number of British colonists poured Xiaomei's tea (which could not be called Lao Mei at that time) into the sea, which ignited Xiaomei's anger, and then the North American Revolutionary War officially broke out, which is really a bloody case caused by tea.

In the middle of the 18th century, the British ** imposed strict control on the North American colonies, saying to North America across the ocean: "Don't be nervous, I'm not a good person!".”

Then, the Stamp Act of 1765 and the Tea Act of 1767, both of which were enacted by this man who was not a good man, caused strong resentment among the North American colonists.

The promulgation and enforcement of these laws made the inhabitants of the North American colonies feel that their rights and freedoms had been violated.

Although the representatives of the North American colonies convened the "Clarkson Conference" in 1768 and decided to fight against the suppression of the British ** through joint action, after all, the arm could not twist the thigh, and the situation did not improve.

The East India Company, as a direct subsidiary of the British Crown, imposed heavy taxes on North America and deducted a 25% tax rate on British imports of tea.

The promulgation of the Townsend Act increased the tax rate on imported tea from North America, causing dissatisfaction among the people of the North American colonies.

Under these circumstances, Britain** strengthened its control over North America through military and commercial means, making the people of the North American colonies feel that they were being oppressed intolerably.

As a result, the people of the North American colonies began to secretly ship tea to North America to sell it to resist the economic repression of the British.

However, when the British learned of this, they sent troops to Boston and poured all the tea loaded on the ship anchored in the port into the sea, which was the famous Boston Tea Party.

The Boston Tea Party incident aroused the anger and rebellion of the people of the North American coloniesIt thus became the trigger for the North American Revolutionary War.

After that, the people of the thirteen states of North America began to organize themselves against the British overlord, which eventually led to the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War.
