CHINA - Example: The Tea Act was imposed on May 10, 1763, under British Prime Minister George Greenville and King George III. This meant that the British East India company was able to sell its overstock of tea from China in the colonies for a very low price. This created a monopoly on tea, which in turn put colonial merchants out of business and further infuriated colonists. The Tea Act was repealed by the Taxation of Colonies Act in 1778.
