Why did colonists object to the tea act? because it would aid a different part of the empire than their own, colonists felt that this was the kind of discriminatory action that violated the concept of liberty. it granted a monopoly, and the colonists opposed all forms of monopoly. the british east india company made inferior tea, and colonists preferred not to drink it. it raised the tax on tea so much as to make tea prohibitively expensive. by paying it, they would be acknowledging great britain's right to tax the colonists?

what are the reasons

the options of this question are:

a) president wilson’s desire to form the league of nations  

b) germany’s desire for reasonable conditions of surrender and fair treatment.  

c)europe’s desire to maintain original pre-war borders  

d) the allies’ desire to seek retribution for germany’s actions

the correct answer is d) the allies’ desire to seek retribution for germany’s actions.

the allies’ desire to seek retribution for germany’s actions had the greatest influence on how germany was treated after world war i.

it is estimated that the cost of wwi was around 260 billion dollars, and the allies wanted germany to pay a big part for the losses. the allies also wanted to impose land losses as well as limit the army of germany and confiscate their industrial resources to apply the retribution.

in the united states, president woodrow wilson created the fourteen points to be delivered to germany, as a peace program. he presented these documents to the u.s. congress in january 1918.
