All of the following contributed to the failure of the Sepoy Mutiny except the numerical superiority of the British troops.
Answer: Option D
<u>Explanation:</u>
The Sepoy Mutiny was a rebellious movement that was stirred when the British touched the culture of Muslims and Hindus. It all started when the Sepoy where asked to load 303 rifle manually by biting the cartridge at the end.
The cartridge was greased with beef tallow and pig fat which caused a revolt because it was forbidden to touch pig fat for the Muslims and beef tallow was untouchable by the Hindus.
When India was under the British rule the British had enormous troops with well supplied war necessities. Hence the Indians were tormented.When people refused to load the gun 85 of them were imprisoned.They broke out the prison and killed all the Europeans they met in sight.
The constitutional principle that was the main focus of the north south conflicts that led to the civil war was the right to own property, since many people in the South felt that slaves were included in terms of "property" that could not be taken away.
