The revolt of 1857 was the most severe outburst of anger and discontent accumulated in the

hearts of various sections of the Indian society ever since the inception of British rule in Bengal,

following the Battle of Plassey in 1757 and the Battle of Buxar 1764. British historians called it a

"Sepoy Mutiny" and the Indian historians termed it as the "First War of Independence".

Jawaharlal Nehru in his book "Discovery of India" described it as the Feudal Revolt of 1857 and

added that "it was much more than a military mutiny and it rapidly spread and assumed the

character of a popular rebellion and a war of Indian Independence".

Though the revolt was started by the Indian soldiers in the service of the East India Company, it

soon proliferated all over the country. Millions of peasants, artisans and soldiers fought

heroically for over a year and sacrificed their life so that others might live. Hindus and Muslims

kept their religious differences aside and fought together in order to free themselves from

foreign subjugation.

The British tried to dismiss this Revolt by merely calling it a "Sepoy Mutiny", but this Revolt

clearly shows the hatred that the Indians had for the foreigners. The Revolt did not take place

overnight. There were many causes that added fuel to the fire. The British were exploiting the

Indians and the following reasons led to revolt.

What role did religious differences play in the Iranian revolution and the Iran -Iraq War?
nadya68 [22]
Difference of government philosophy and differing sects of Islam. 

For the Iranian Revolution, the question of a secular versus religious government was of concern. The government being overthrown was more secular and Western influence was there. The revolutionaries were fundamentalists who wanted religion to return to the government.

In the Iraq-Iran War, it was a difference of religious sides within Islam. Iraq is more Sunni and Iran is more Shi'a. These sects have a long history of conflict and the difference in religion and politics influenced the war. Also the question of western influence in the area was of concern.

Name one reason that the native Americans agreed to treaties that were unfair to them
andrezito [222]
We have to remember that there was a big difference between the treaties themselves and the paper documents that European-Americans used to record those treaties. For many Native Americans, a treaty was an oral agreement between governments. It was methodically memorized and often sealed with an exchange of gifts. In the eastern part of North America, wampum belts (which were shells strung together to create images) served as official records of these treaties, and were draped over a speaker's body when the treaty was being recited later on, much as Europeans might read aloud the text of a written agreement between two European countries.

For Natives, the oral agreement, along with these wampum belts, WERE the treaty, and the paper document they signed was just some odd European habit that they often simply tolerated. Many of the Native leaders who signed these treaties could not read what they were signing, and even if they could they did not recognize the documents as being the official record of what was agreed on.
