1 answer:

8 0

This is an interesting question and something military historians have been trying to answer since more than a 100 years.

Enfield rifles were used by the British Army in the mid 19th Century and most of them used grease made of animal lard.

The East Indian company had conscripted an Army of locals within India. These were made up of mostly Hindu and some Muslims men.

Rumors began to circulate that the grease of made of cow or pig lard. This was highly offensive to Hindus and Muslims alike, since Hindus considered the Cow to be their god and Muslims considered pig to be unclean.

To how large of an extent did this play in turning into the 1857 Rebellion is arguable, however, it did inflame tensions between the occupied and the occupiers.

The seat of power for king louis xiv of france, ____ was originally louis's grandfather's hunting lodge.

Anika [276]

Versailles

Louis XIV is an important historical figure. He was known as the Sun King because all activity in France basically revolved around him. He built up the property at Versailles to a glorious palace and got the nobility to compete for his attention there. They would even compete with each other for the right to help the king get dressed in the morning. This was Louis' way of keeping the ranking nobles from being a threat to his power. He lured them to come live at the glorious Versailles palace with him where he could keep them under his influence and away from their lands in the provinces. They were lavishly entertained, but lost the real power they would have had as lords governing in their provincial lands.
