<p>(im älteren Sprachgebrauch auch Bostoner Teesturm)</p>
<p>England, 1773: Die Regierung von König Georg III. brauchte Geld.</p>
<p>Den britischen Kolonien wurden neue Steuern auferlegt. Eines der besteuerten Güter war Tee. Die Amerikaner waren sehr wütend. Sie riefen: &#8220;Keine Besteuerung ohne Vertretung&#8221;.</p>
<p>In Boston enterte eine Gruppe amerikanischer Männer drei Schiffe im Hafen. Sie kippten mehr als dreihundert Kisten Tee ins Wasser.</p>
<p>Diese Aktion wurde als Boston Tea Party bekannt. Dies führte schließlich zum Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg.</p>

<h3>1773 The Boston Tea Party</h3>
<p> (in older usage also Boston tea storm) </p>
<p>England, 1773: the government of King George III needed money.</p>
<p>New taxes were imposed on British colonies. One of the items that was taxed was tea. Americans were very angry. They cried, “No taxation without representation”.</p>
<p>In Boston, a group of American men boarded three ships in the harbor. They dumped more than three hundred crates of tea into the water.</p>
<p>This action became known as the Boston Tea Party. This eventually led to the American Revolutionary War.</p>

<p>Das Hollywood-Zeichen befindet sich auf dem Mount Lee in Los Angeles, Kalifornien. Das Zeichen ist ein berühmtes Symbol der Unterhaltungsindustrie. Seine Buchstaben sind fünfundvierzig Fuß (vierzehn Meter) hoch.</p>
<p>Als das Zeichen 1923 gebaut wurde, zeigten die Buchstaben ursprünglich „Hollywoodland&#8221;. Das Zeichen war eine Werbung für eine Immobilienentwicklung.</p>
<p>Das Zeichen wurde ursprünglich gebaut, um achtzehn Monate zu bestehen. Die Buchstaben waren aus Holz und Blech gefertigt.</p>
<p>Im Jahr 1949 wurde das Wort „Land&#8221; entfernt. Im Jahr 1978, zum fünfundfünfzigsten Jahrestag des Zeichens, wurden die originalen Buchstaben durch Buchstaben aus Stahl ersetzt.</p>
