The immediate causes that led to the Revolt of 1857 are as Follows:

i) Discontent and resentment against British rule had been growing among the Indians for a long time. By AD 1857. the stage was set for a massive revolt. Only spark was needed to set the country ablaze spark was provided by the events at Kanpur.Lucknow and Central India.

(ii) The rumours of cartridges smeared with pig and cow Eat spread like wildfire. As the Hindus consider the cow sacred and the Muslims do pig's meat, both these communities blatant to harm their religion. This incident, popularly Greased Cartridges Incident, became the immediate cause of the revoIt.

iii) On 24th April. 1857. some soldiers stationed at Meerut also refused to use the cartridges. On 9th May. 1857. they were severely punished for this.This incident sparked off a general mutiny among the sepoys of Meerut. On 10th May 1857, these rebel soldiers killed their British officers. released their imprisoned comrades and hoisted the flag of revolt. This was the official beginning of the 'Great RevoIt'.

What were the assumptions underlying the US involvement in southeast Asia? Were they correct?
gogolik [260]
The United States assumed that since the USSR was attempting to spread communism into Asia, countries around the main target would fall as well - the Domino Effect.

The United States fought to prevent the spread of communism by interfering in countries such as Vietnam and Korea - however, both outcomes were unsuccessful or did little to nothing. 

Yes, they were correct as once Vietnam fell to communism so did Cambodia and Laos.

Which of these statements would Winston Churchill most likely agree with?
pshichka [43]

The correct answer is Victory must be attained at all costs.

Churchill was arrested and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp in Pretoria, where he fled, walking 500km and insisted on staying in Africa, participating in several battles. This story made him a national hero when he returned in 1900.

He entered parliament in the same year, supported by the conservative party.

He married Clementine, and together they had 5 children.

In 1911, he took over as First Lord of the Admiralty, a highly prestigious position in the British Navy and in this post, during the First World War he was responsible for the disastrous Gallipoli and Dardanelles campaign. Received on the peninsula by well-prepared Ottomans, the offensive resulted in the death of 50,000 British and French. Churchill was fired from his position at the Admiralty.

After the Russian Communist Revolution, Churchill was an active voice against the expansion of communism in Europe.

He lived a political decline in the 1920s and 1930s, experiencing relative political isolation, dedicating himself to reading and writing. Winston is the only British prime minister to receive a Nobel Prize for literature.

From 1933, during Hitler's rise to Germany, Churchill raised his voice against what he considered a serious threat.

He was constantly going public, suggesting English rearmament and preparation for an inevitable conflict. He criticized the government for its passivity in the face of Hitler's demands.

In 1939, England declared war on Germany after the Nazis invaded Poland. At the same moment Churchill takes over the Admiralty again, in the same position he had been years before.

In 1940, in the middle of a German invasion of France, Winston Churchill was appointed Prime Minister. His inaugural speech was simple: "I have nothing to offer, other than blood, suffering, tears and sweat."
