Dbq Sepoy Mutiny

Decent Essays
The Sepoy Mutiny is about Indians that back in the 1850’s when they worked for Great Britain that heard rumors that the soldiers used cow and pig grease in their weapons which is against their religion and they rebelled. I don’t think that the soldiers use animal grease as cartridges in their rifles. The Sepoy Mutiny was caused by a rumor and a rumor only. That rumor seems to be that cow and pig grease were used as cartridges in british rifles and that is against the Indians religions. Evidence from document a suggests that “the men believed that the grease used was made of fat of cows, though this was not the case”. Which means the british didn’t use cow fat as grease. The actual way the bullets were put in the cartridges of the 1853 Enfield

    In the midst of the Napoleonic War between Great Britain and France, the United States found it’s self in a strange positon. While it had declared neutrality during the war, the warring nations imposed several sanctions on the U.S. Great Brittan began taking U.S sailors as hostages and forcing them to work in the British Royal Navy, which you can imagine would have greatly helped Brittan’s war effort against France by building up its naval power. In effect, it was the United Stated that was losing on all fronts, from the hijacking of American ships to the loss of American sailors, president Jefferson decided to take action. Instead of engaging in warfare, which can be quite costly, President Jefferson decided it was in the nation’s best interest…

The war had been fought over the confederacys right to exsist as a seperate nation For most of the modern era the process of ending wars involved representatives of the warring nations sitting down at a table and arranging some sort of peace.

    The Embargo Act was a wrong decision of Thomas Jefferson, who was the third president of the Unites States in 1807. It caused serious collapse of the US economy at that time. This embargo made the people out of work, due to unemployment that led to increase social crime. Moreover, agricultural products could not be exported abroad, so it destroyed the family property and private enterprise. This embargo was not only beneficial for the United States, but also pulled the United States economy increasingly downward.…

    The era of old imperialism ended in the 19th century when different colonial powers shifted their focus from exploring the new world to scrambling to lay claim over various pieces of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. For the majority of the 19th century, Great Britain was under the rule of Queen Victoria, who the people saw as a great leader and symbol of national pride. GB was a powerful force at this time, and wanted to further establish their power by taking control of Afghanistan. Afghanistan did not appeal to colonial powers because of the resources it had to offer, but because of its geographic significance. At the time, Russia had control over Persia and GB had control of its crown jewel, India.…

    Bacon’s Rebellion was the first serious tax revolt in American History which is evident in him stating, “let all people judge what can be more dangerous import than to suspect the so long safe proceedings of some of our grandees, and whether people may with safety open their eyes in so nice a concern”. This shows that although people were uncomfortable with the taxes, they dealt with it for the continuation of normalcy and to stay away from a war, but Bacon felt that continuing with normalcy was unsafe and therefore started a rebellion. Indian assaults helped to trigger the rebellion; however, the Indians were pawns in a larger dispute between Bacon and Berkeley. One reason Bacon was upset was due to the fact that the governor was unjust and…

    Sepoy Mutiny Essay

    • 218 Words
    • 1 Pages

    It started as a mutiny of discontented sepoy regiments, that is, Indian soldiers in the service of the East India Company, which had, by that time, annexed the greater part of the subcontinent. But the soldiers’ uprising speedily turned into a ‘popular revolt’, also involving the tax-drained Indian peasants and disinherited Indian princes, like the Rani of Jhansi and Nana Sahib. Astrid Erll (2006) The causes of this “Sepoy Mutiny” are not very clear, and historians disagree as to whether it was a planned war of independence against the British power, or an uncoordinated uprising of soldiers who felt a threat to their religion and traditional practices (Spear 2002), or simply a mutiny by soldiers who wanted increased pay and greater career opportunities…

    In 1667 the East India Company began training Indian natives as soldiers, also know as native sepoys. Soon these sepoys became a very large part of Britain’s military forces in India, outnumbering the Britain forces ten to one. Eventually Britain had imperialized two-thirds of the land in India, and soon there was a great amount of tension between the sepoys and Britain. Before 1857 there had been smaller revolts, but these were snuffed out. In 1857 the first of the revolts was in the garrison of Meerut, where the sepoys killed any European that they could find.…
