The two events occurred in Boston that caused tension between British Parliament and the colonists were the Boston Massacre of 1770 and the Boston Tea Party of 1773.
-The Boston Massacre took place on the night of March 5, 1770. The tension caused by the military occupation of Boston, increased after the firings that a group of soldiers made against a group of protesters protesting against the rate hike on the part of England to recover from the economic losses after the war. John Adams would later say that, after the night of the Boston Massacre, the desire for independence of the United States of America began.
-The 16 of December of 1773 took place in Boston the denominated Boston Tea Party, in which a shipment of tea was sent to the sea. A group of settlers disguised as Indians threw the cargo of tea from three British ships into the sea. It was an act of protest by the American colonists against Great Britain and is considered a precedent of the United States War of Independence.
The rebellion of the settlers in the port of Boston was born as a result of the approval by Great Britain in 1773 of the Tea Act, which taxed the import from the metropolis of various products, including tea, to benefit the British Company of the East Indies to whom the colonists boycotted buying the tea of the Netherlands.
There were no many natural resources in Mesopotamia; this is because they used to trade in getting things that they needed. They, therefore, offered wool jewelry, oil clothing grains, and wine. They also lacked other essential resources such as wood, iron, and stones because of floods.
Therefore to tackle the issue, the Babylonians had options of obtaining natural resources through wars and other intensive trading activities. They consequently received precious metals from Asia and gold from countries like Egypt that had textiles wool and oil.
Hello. You did not post the announcements that the question refers to, but I can help you, since the announcements that reflected European views at the time of imperialism, generally displayed obvious ideas about the purity and superiority of the white man and the idea that colonies are dirty places without civilization.
The idea of purity and superiority is related to the idea of the "white man's burden", which was a concept that stated that it was a duty (given by God) to Europeans to "clean up", take Christianity and dominate regions with inferior people , in this case, non-white people who lived in other countries, who were considered unclean and therefore needed to be purified by whites.
In this way, Europeans used a strong racist bias to dominate and enslave peoples of other ethnicities, promoting imperialism while claiming that this was the role that God had assigned to whites in this world.
