History

Answer:

follow

Explanation:

Britain sent a peace mission to Bhutan in early 1864, in the wake of the recent conclusion of a civil war there, under Ashley Eden.[1] The dzongpon of Punakha – who had emerged victorious – had broken with the central government and set up a rival Druk Desi while the legitimate druk desi sought the protection of the penlop of Paro and was later deposed. The British mission dealt alternately with the rival penlop of Paro and the penlop of Trongsa (the latter acted on behalf of the druk desi), but Bhutan rejected the peace and friendship treaty it offered partially because of the previous unilateral British annexation of some Assam duars. Britain declared war in November 1864. Bhutan had no regular army, and what forces existed were composed of dzong guards armed with matchlocks, bows and arrows, swords, knives, and catapults. Some of these dzong guards, carrying shields and wearing chainmail armor, engaged the well-equipped British forces.

Storming of Dewangiri fort.

The fort, known at the time as Dewangiri, at Deothang was dismantled by the British during 1865. The British initially suffered a humiliating defeat at Deothang and when they recaptured Dewangiri they destroyed much in an attempt to compensate.

The Duar War lasted only five months and, despite some battlefield victories by Bhutanese forces which included the capture of two howitzer guns, resulted in the loss of 20% of Bhutan's territory, and forced cession of formerly occupied territories.[2] Under the terms of the Treaty of Sinchula, signed 11 November 1865, Bhutan ceded territories in the Assam Duars and Bengal Duars, as well as the 83 km² of territory of Dewangiri in southeastern Bhutan, in return for an annual subsidy of 50,000 rupees. The Treaty of Sinchula stood until 1910, when Bhutan and British India signed the Treaty of Punakha, effective until 1947.

Which of the following was a direct consequence of the European trading of firearms with Native Americans? English insistence th
Andru [333]

The correct option is:"Increased death toll and violence of King Philip's War Native Americans' "

Iroquois access to firearms through Dutch and then English merchants along the Hudson River increased casualties in the war. This greater bloodshed, previously unseen in the Iroquois war, increased the practice of the "Mourning Wars": the Iroquois attacked neighboring groups to take captives, which were ritually adopted to replace the dead Iroquois; thus a cycle of violence and war intensified. More significantly, the new infectious diseases brought by the French decimated the native groups and broke up their communities. Combined with war, the disease led to the almost destruction of the ferret village in 1650

Tpy6a [65]

The high point of achievement in Mughal architecture (Indo-Islamic architecture developed by Mughals in 16th century), represents the Taj Mahal, described as the “teardrop on the cheek of time” by Rabindranath Tagore. Emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal entirely of white marble in memory of his wife Mumtay Mahal. Shah Jahan decorated the building with large scale-inlaid work of jewels and symmetrical mirror mosque in red sandstone. The construction took over 22 years and required 22,000 workers and 1,000 elephants, at cost of approximately 32 million rupees. The Taj Mahal now represents one of the New Seven Wonder of the World.
