Which of the following caused the Sepoy Rebellion?

History
2 answers:
N76 [4]3 years ago
5 0
The correct answer is "The British wanted Indian soldiers to use rifle cartridges that were greased with animal fat."

The reason why this caused the Sepoy Rebellion was because many of the Indian soldiers were Hindus. In the Hindu religion, the cow is a sacred animal. Hindus are not able to eat, touch, or kill cows.

Even though this was the case, the British wanted the Indian soldiers to grease their rifle cartridges with a mixture of beef and pork fat. This went against many Sepoys religious beliefs. Despite this, the British did not change their ammunition methods, which helped to spark this rebellion.

What is militarism and how did it influence the nations of europe prior to world war 1
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
Militarism is a political idea that focuses on building a military. It is built around the idea that nations need to have strong militaries if they are to protect the interests of their people. If those interests create a conflict with the interests of another nation, the military is there to solve that through things like wars. Militarism is usually about territorial expansion.

It influenced them because the nations needed colonies in order to stay relevant on the worldwide market and be powerful. Britain and France had numerous colonies while Germany wanted to get some of them and Austria-Hungary and Ottomans had problems with people wanting to become independent. This resulted in all of them heavily focusing on their militaries which eventually brought world war 1.

Did the United States live up to the ideals of justice and democracy during WWII ? Explain why.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

No they did not

Explanation:

Democracy is when the whole country, peacefully, comes to agreements about issues through elected officals. During the civil war, the states were split up fighting against each other over the issue of slavery. This does not at all represent democracy. Slaves were still being kept during the time of WWII which is a huge injustice and inequality.

why does the majority maintain that Jim crow law that forbade homer plessy from riding in a white only rail is constitutional
Kaylis [27]
The majority opinion in the case Plessy vs. Ferguson was written by Supreme Court justice Henry Brown. In this opinion, he wrote that the Jim Crow laws that segregated blacks and whites in society did not violate the 14th amendment.

 In his argument, he discussed how the 14th amendment and the equal protection clause were focused on creating legal equality. In this case, Plessy had the chance to sit in a rail car of equal quality. This helped to develop the concept of "separate but equal" which would be used in American society for the next 6 decades.
