Which one among the following events was associated with American War of Independence ?

The Boston Tea Party (1773) was a pivotal event associated with the American War of Independence. It was a symbolic act of defiance by American colonists against the British tax on tea, which escalated tensions leading to the outbreak of the Revolutionary War in 1775 [3]. In contrast, the other options are central events of the French Revolution (1789–1799). The Tennis Court Oath (June 1789) occurred when the Third Estate representatives vowed to create a new constitution for France [4]. The Fall of the Bastille (July 1789) marked the violent start of the French Revolution [3]. The Reign of Terror (1793–1794) was a later period of mass executions led by the Jacobins during the French revolutionary struggle [1]. Therefore, only the Boston Tea Party is linked to the American struggle for independence from British rule [5].
