The unsuccessful revolt by Indian soldiers against British colonial rule in 1857-1858 was the Sepoy Rebellion.
Explanation:
The Sepoy Rebellion was a bloody and prolonged uprising against the British East India Company which broke out in May 1857 in India. The uprising was concentrated in northern India and continued until June 1858, although minor fighting continued throughout that year. This led to the East India Company being replaced by direct British rule and the formation of British India formally.
The exact causes of the uprising are the subject of debate. It began as a mutiny among Indian soldiers in British service, the sepoys, but can also be considered to have had the character of rebellion against foreign rule. It was mainly caused by wounded religious feelings and the experience of social injustice, so Hindu and Muslim insurgents united against the Westerners, and planned to overthrow the British rule.
How did fear of domestic communism affect American society during the Cold War? Fear of communism made Americans willing to limit certain civil liberties in the effort to protect the nation from communist espionage.
Continental drift describes one of the earliest ways geologists thought continents moved over time. Today, the theory of continental drift has been replaced by the science of plate tectonics. Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth's mantle.
