How did the long Enfield Rifles hurt the sentiment of the Indian sepoys?​
Karolina [17]

The sepoy mutiny was a widespread but unsuccessful rebellion against British rule in India in 1857–58. A rumour spread among the sepoys that the grease used to lubricate the cartridges was a mixture of pigs’ and cows’ lard. This had hurt both Hindus' and Muslims' religious sentiments which was one of the causes of the sepoy mutiny of 1857.

What was the main idea behind the domino theory?
Ratling [72]
<span>The domino theory, which governed much of U.S. foreign policy beginning in the early 1950s, held that a communist victory in one nation would quickly lead to a chain reaction of communist takeovers in neighboring states. In Southeast Asia, the United States government used the domino theory to justify its support of a non-communist regime in South Vietnam against the communist government of North Vietnam, and ultimately its increasing involvement in the long-running Vietnam War (1954-75). In fact, the American failure to prevent a communist victory in Vietnam had much less of a global impact than had been assumed by the domino theory. Though communist regimes did arise in Laos and Cambodia after 1975, communism failed to spread throughout the rest of Southeast Asia.
I hope this was of help.

Which founding father went to London in the 1780s in order to try and resolve problems leftover by the American Revolution
lana [24]

Answer:

John Adams.

Explanation:

Before being President, John Adams was a prominent American diplomat in Europe.

In 1778, Adams was sent to Paris to obtain support for the United States from the French. The following year, he returned to the United States to formulate his own constitution for the state of Massachusetts.  

In November 1779, Adams returned to Europe on a diplomatic mission and, together with John Jay and Benjamin Franklin, obtained the Treaty of Paris in 1783, which ended hostilities between the British and American settlements.

Adams also worked simultaneously in the Netherlands, where he negotiated a $ 2 million loan to the United States. The Dutch provinces recognized U.S. independence in April 1782, and Adams was received as the U.S. ambassador.

After the end of hostilities, Adams was appointed the first British ambassador to the United Kingdom in 1785. He held this position until 1788 and then returned to the United States.
