THE QUESTION:Describe How the Boston Tea Party led to the American Revolution?

THE BRAINLIEST ANSWER: Boston Tea Party, incident on December 16, 1773, when a group of citizens in Boston, Massachusetts, dumped tea into Boston Harbor. It was one of several events that led to the outbreak of the American Revolution in 1775.  

Many colonists in America resisted the tea from the East India Company. Because the company appointed only certain American merchants as agents to distribute their tea, other merchants resented not being able to partake in the profits. Smugglers feared the loss of the valuable trade of Dutch tea. Popular politicians objected to the Tea Act on principle. They resisted “taxation without representation”—Britain taxing the colonists without giving them representation in government.  

Throughout the colonies, people opposed the Tea Act. In most places, they either stored the tea or sent it back, but not in Boston. Led by Samuel Adams, the citizens of Boston would not permit the unloading of three British ships that arrived in Boston in November 1773 with 342 chests of tea. The royal governor of Massachusetts, Thomas Hutchinson, however, would not let the tea ships return to England until the colonists had paid the duty.  

On the evening of December 16, 1773, a group of Bostonians, many of them disguised as Native Americans, boarded the vessels and dumped the tea into Boston Harbor.

The colonist decided to revolt against the tax, and buy throwing millions of pounds (currency) worth of tea into the harbor, caused the British to retaliate.

dem82 [27]

Answer:

The Americans who opposed World War I built the largest, most diverse, and most sophisticated peace coalition up to that point in U.S. history. They came from a variety of backgrounds: wealthy and middle and working class, urban and rural, white and black, Christian and Jewish and atheist. They mounted street demonstrations and popular exhibitions, attracted prominent leaders from the labor and suffrage movements, ran peace candidates for local and federal office, and founded new organizations that endured beyond the cause. For almost three years, they helped prevent Congress from authorizing a massive increase in the size of the U.S. army—a step advocated by ex-president Theodore Roosevelt. Then many persevered, in the face of a concerted campaign by the government to silence them. Several anti-war activists founded the organization that became the ACLU to defend those whom the state prosecuted for refusing to change their minds. Soon after the end of the Great War, most Americans believed it had not been worth fighting. And when its bitter legacy led to the next world war, the warnings of these peace activists turned into a tragic prophecy—and the beginning of a surveillance state that still endures today.

Which was a major purpose of the united states and it swartime allies and world war 2 summit conference held in yalta and potsda
MrRissso [65]
The purpose of the Yalta Conference (February 1945) was to discuss what Europe would look like after World War II. The conference involved the three largest allied powers during this time, including the US, Soviet Union, and Great Britain. This meeting revolved around getting Germany to surrender unconditionally as well as a plan for reorganizing territories and who would control them after the war.

The Potsdam Conference (July-August 1945) focused on punishing war criminals, land boundaries, reparations payments, and getting Japan to unconditionally surrender. Japans surrender would essentially end World War II.

Pleasure-seeking was the belief of (Roman)
vampirchik [111]

The answer you're looking for could be a HEDONIST or an EPICUREAN.

"Hedonism" is the general philosophical term for someone seeking pleasure -- though how pleasure was defined differed between different persons.

Epicureans were a particular group in Greco-Roman history that had "pleasure-seeking" as a core belief.

Let's clarify what "pleasure seeking" meant in the original theory of the the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus.  Epicurus (341-270 BC) believed that the universe and all life within it is essentially a random interaction of atomic particles.  So according to Epicurus, human life is what we have while we're living in this form, but there is no afterlife of individual souls.  So he advocated that the best way to live life, while we are alive, was to seek pleasure and avoid pain.  But his definition of "pleasure" was not some wild party, but the most comfortable and fulfilling sort of mental and physical existence.  So he urged living a life of moderation in order to avoid as much pain as possible.  Pursuing highly emotional relationships or stressful responsibilities in society would cause too much mental pain, he thought, so he refrained from such things.  Similarly, eating too much of rich foods can make you sick, or drinking too much leaves you with a hangover -- so the pain isn't worth the initial pleasure you might feel.  Epicurus and his followers lived very simple lives in order to be free of as much mental and physical pain as possible.  

Some have characterized the "Epicurean" way of life as one that says, "Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die!"  But Epicurus himself would not have pursued a lifestyle that sought excessive pleasure through eating, drinking and partying, because too much pain would come along with it..
