प्रश्न
Answer the following question briefly:
The American War of Independence was the first organized political revolution in the history of the world. In this context answer the following question:
Why did the American colonists refuse to pay taxes imposed by the British Parliament in London? Give an account of the Boston Tea Party incident.
उत्तर
The American colonists refused to pay taxes as they argued that the British Parliament had no right to tax the colonists since they had no representatives in the Parliament. In 1773, a group of colonists, disguised as Red Indians, raided British ships in Boston harbour and threw 340 crates of tea into the sea. This incident was a protest against the new taxes including a tax on tea, imposed on the colonies. The importance of this act was that it was an act of open defiance of the colonists against British authority.
