(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'.

Which objective of american foreign policy in 1951 led to a united nations military intervention in the korean peninsula?
Greeley [361]
During the 1950's, the US had adopted a policy of containment. The goal was to stop the spread of communism on a global scale. This included giving financial and military aid to countries who might fall into the hands of a communist government. A perfect example of this would be South Korea.

During the early 1950's, North Korea (a communist country) invaded South Korea. America, worried about the spread of communism, wanted to ensure that South Korea stayed free of this communist system. To do this, the US helped convince the United Nations to intervene in the conflict between North and South Korea.
