The sepoy mutiny int he Indian subcontinent was instigated by political and social reasons. The predominant religions at the time in the subcontinent were Hinduism and Islam, the followers could not eat beef and pork respectively. The Indian population was practically enslaved by the British East India Company and how little to no rights. The soldiers that were conscripted, known as sepoys, were forced to fight in many wars such as the Afghan wars. What was the immediate catalyst was the forcing of them to put their mouths to animal grease (beef and pork) that lined their cartridges. This was one of the direct instigations of the sepoy mutiny.

Explain ONE instance in which the Spanish resorted to the type of actions threatened in the third paragraph.

Alika [10]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You forgot to include the text or the third paragraph. Without that information, we do not know what you are referring to.

However, doing some deep research, we can comment on the following.

One instance in which the Spanish resorted to the type of actions threatened in the third paragraph was to punish the Native peoples who refused to obey the conquerors and refused to convert to Catholicism.

The Spanish have threatened the Indians expressing threats such as <em>"...But, if you do not obey, we shall powerfully enter into your country, and shall make war against you and shall subject you to the yoke and obedience of the Church and the king and queen of Spain."</em>

Spanish conquerors committed many atrocities when they tried to colonize many territories in the Americas. all in the name of God and the Catholic church.

This was part of a medieval document titled "The Demand." This document was issued by the council of Castile in 1510. When conquerors arrived in the Americas, they had to read the document to warn Native Indian peol¿ple, before taking their territories.

What ultimately led to the failure of communism?

Black_prince [1.1K]

Communism failed to provide incentives for workers and citizens to work hard and be productive. While there are many benefits from equality, if pushed to an extreme it robs people of an incentive to make an effort. There was little if any reward for hard work or innovation and a lack of punishment for poor or inefficient work. The lack of incentives was a major reason for the poor performance of Eastern Europe economies.

What was the nature of the Japanese government between the Gempei Wars and the Onin War?

guajiro [1.7K]

Ok, so..

What I will do: Describe the nature of the Japanese government between the Gempei wars and the Onin War. What was the nature of the Japanese society, and economy during the period of the daimyos.

The Japanese government between the Gempei wars adn the Onin Wars consisted of the Minamoto and the Taira. Eventually the Minamoto gained control and destroyed the Taira and the Taira house faction. The society and economy of Japan suffered during these times of war. Battles raged within Japan and destroyed many farmlands that were a major part in Japan’s economy. The Minamoto leader started to kill members of his own family and his powerful generals in fear that someone would kill him and take his spot. This crippled the Minamoto and started the feudal age in Japan.
