To solve this problem, we need to fill in the missing events on the timeline of the American Revolution. The timeline shows key dates and asks for the major historical event that happened in each year.
Here is the step-by-step breakdown:
1.
Year 1773 (Top Right):
* The prompt asks "What does it do?" next to an illustration of crates being thrown into water.
* In December 1773, American colonists dumped British tea into Boston Harbor to protest taxes.
*
Event: The Boston Tea Party.
2.
Year 1775 (Left Side, near the soldier):
