Answer 2

Answer:

A. The first shots of the American Revolution are fired and war between the colonies and Britain begins.

Explanation:

The trigger that led to the beginning of the independence movement was the Tea Law, which established a monopoly on the sale of tea in America to the East India Company. This displeased local elites and caused a small revolt known as the Boston Tea Party, in which settlers stormed Boston Harbor and threw over 300 tea boxes into the sea.

The show of rebellion by the settlers was accompanied by strong repression by Great Britain, which responded by occupying the Massachusetts colony, sending troops to occupy Concord, imposing a ban on meetings in that city and demanding settlement of damages by the settlers. In addition, the troops aimed to seize weapons.

The settlers did not accept this British occupation with kindness, at that time the desire for revolution spoke louder and the first shots of the American Revolution were fired then the war between the colonies and Great Britain began.
