started in Boston, the biggest city in the state of Massachusetts.

Boston was, as America was a british
colony, an important shipping town.
Since 1768, british soldiers had been stationed in Boston to safeguard and to promote colonial officials, who tried to execute unpopular parliamentary legislations
Two years later, on 5th
March 1770, british soldiers killed five American men and hurted six further.Since 1768, british soldiers had been stationed in Boston to safeguard and to promote colonial officials, who tried to execute unpopular parliamentary legislations

On 16th December 1773,
members of “The Sons of Liberty“, an organization of American patriots, were dressed up as
American Indians and went on to the british ship, which came to the Boston

But the british government reacted
hard and this protest led to the revolution of America.
