All of the following contributed to the failure of the Sepoy Mutiny except the numerical superiority of the British troops.
Answer: Option D
<u>Explanation:</u>
The Sepoy Mutiny was a rebellious movement that was stirred when the British touched the culture of Muslims and Hindus. It all started when the Sepoy where asked to load 303 rifle manually by biting the cartridge at the end.
The cartridge was greased with beef tallow and pig fat which caused a revolt because it was forbidden to touch pig fat for the Muslims and beef tallow was untouchable by the Hindus.
When India was under the British rule the British had enormous troops with well supplied war necessities. Hence the Indians were tormented.When people refused to load the gun 85 of them were imprisoned.They broke out the prison and killed all the Europeans they met in sight.
In his book, A People's History of the United States, Howard Zinn cites examples from US colonial history of the gap between rich and poor in colonial life.
A key study cited by Zinn examined tax registers from Boston, showing that the top 1% of the population held 25% of the wealth in 1687, and that by 1770, the top 1% of property owners in Boston owned 44% of the wealth. The study also noted that the bulk of Boston's population were not property owners. The percentage of adult males in Boston who owned no property doubled between 1687 and 1770 (from 14% to 29%).
Zinn cited additional items, regarding overcrowding of poorhouses (giving a notable example from New York) and a general increase throughout the colonies of the "wandering poor" who had no real means of support. He also cited examples of workers' strikes against employers in the colonies because of low wages.
