给我提供一个有趣的历史事件，并提供一个简要的概述。
The Boston Tea Party (1773) – 红茶事件（1773年）

The Boston Tea Party is a political protest that occurred in 1773 in response to the British government's decision to impose a tax on tea imported to the American colonies. A group of American colonists, disguised as Native Americans, boarded a British East India Company ship and threw 342 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor. This act of rebellion against British authority helped to spark the American Revolution.
