The Sepoy Mutiny.

Explanation:

The Sepoy Mutiny, along with the other dozen names given to this mutiny, was when the Sepoy rose against British ruling. The Indians were not happy with the British and what they stood for. The British wanted to replace very important Native princes, and many people thought their rulings were too harsh. Along with this, the Sepoy Indians were not satisfied being in the British army. They had very small pay and were not treated equally or fairly compared to white soldiers.

The mutiny began in 1857 when the Indians started to revolt and burn down homes and even release people from prisons. They ended up killing many people along with some British soldiers.

North Korea- Wanted: To basically turn the peninsula of Korea in a communist nation. But...Both the Us and the UN (United Nations) stopped them... So...therefore the Chinese actually sided with the Koreans, pushing the United States, and UN back into the 38th parallel line...

General MacArthur- Wanted: To provoke and aggravate China. But...He was commanded not to pass the 20 mile mark. So...He went and crossed the 20 mile mark anyway, showing that he wasn't scared.

President Truman- Wanted: To discontinue the soviet development, try to make the war cease, and even tried to discontinue communism expansion. But....The Americans decided that they didn't want to go into combat. So...the war ended like a chess game and ended in stalemate.

China- Wanted: A safe zone, so that no country could interfere with the refurbishment. So.....China actually organized a planned attack that defeated the troops of amazing. But...China worried that the united states would go into their country, if both the united states and Korea were allowed in combat.

United Nations- Wanted: To basically make communism CEASE!! But... General MacArthur continued to past the 20 mark mile.
