The Boston Tea Party happened because the British were not being fair and giving the colonies taxes that were too high (called taxation without representation). So the Colonists rebelled and dumped the tea from the tea ships into the British Harbor. Therefore the Boston Tea Party happened.

The main reason for the Boston Tea Party was in response to the Tea Act of 1773.
