Boudica, queen of the Iceni tribe in ancient Britain, led a rebellion against the Romans who occupied Britain during this time period. What were the reasons that caused her and the Britons to rebel? Cite a similar, more contemporary example of such a rebellion. How are those events alike? How are they different?

Boudica led the rebellion as her kingdom was annexed wrongfully from her after the death of her husband.

Explanation:

Her husband had left his kingdom to his daughters in his will but this was ignored by the Romans who annexed it from the daughters and Boudica anyway. After being humiliated by Romans, she led the rebellion.

Recent rebellions of the sort include one by The Queen of Jhansi against the British after her husband died and the British came to annex the kingdom according to the Doctrine of Lapse.

In this case however, The Queen of Jhansi had a newborn son who could claim the throne by the law.
