While the Tea Act passed by Parliament in May, 1773 was one of the major events leading to war with Great Britain, it was not designed to tax the colonies but to bail out the East India Tea Company, a private commercial trading company that was involved in trade with Asia. The company carried out many governmental and military functions in Asia for the Crown. As a reward, it was granted a monopoly of the trade in India. In 1773 the company was on the verge of bankruptcy as a result of mismanagement. It also had 17 million pounds of tea in London warehouses with no prospect of selling the tea. The British government agreed to allow the company exclusive right to sell the tea in the American colonies.
