The East India Company forced Sepoys to use new ammunition that went against their religious beliefs, hence causing the Sepoy Rebellion.
It all started when the British East India Company implemented the use of new bullets that must be coated with a mixture of pork and beef fat. This upset many Sepoy's, as several of them were Hindus and this went against their beliefs. Hindus belief that the cow is a sacred animal and are prohibited from touching or killing cows and eating beef.
Along with this, many Sepoys were also Muslim. In this religion of Islam, the pig is considered an unclean animal. This upset with the new policies caused a revolt of these Sepoys against the British East India Company.
The main way in which trade is connected to the spread of culture and ideas between Egypt and Nubia is that traders would take goods from place to place that would intrigue the locals, who would then learn about the other culture, which encouraged some independent travel as well.
In the 1870s, when gold was discovered in the Blacks Hills, the federal government first tried to buy the land from the native Americans.
However, the natives believed that it was their right to stay on the land, and would not leave, and so the US used military force to get what they wanted.
hope this helps
