- Short Description:
- The Boston Tea Party led England to impose what American Colonists dubbed Intolerable Acts. Deterioration of relations through 1774 led to war in 1775. Jason Corner & Mark McDonagh, NSDMG staff.
- Long Description:
- The Coercive Acts, passed in London after the December 1773 Boston Tea Party to punish the unruly Bostonians, were quickly dubbed the Intolerable Acts by the American Colonists who felt that no English citizen should be forced to tolerate such treatment. What followed was a year of message and response which, with more reasonable people on both sides, might have reconciled the conflict. But instead the year 1774 marked a deterioration of relations into the decidedly irreconcilable zone. This resulted in revolution in 1775. Lecture discusses the sequence of events that transitioned the disagreement into full war, the personalities and their contributions both positive and negative, and the potential for a different outcome. Presented by Jason Corner, lead modeling designer, and Capt. Mark McDonagh, USN/ret., on the National Security Decision Making Game staff.
