Describe the issue that led to the Sepoy Rebellion, and explain the underlying conditions that caused resentment between Indians and the British. (Site 1)

Hello, 3Coli here!

Here is your answer to this question:

The British wanted Hindu and Muslim soldiers (Sepoys) to use rifle cartridges that were greased with pig and cow fat. The Sepoys had to bite off the end of the cartridges. Contact with the fat would be an offense to the sepoys’ religion, since avoiding pork and beef was a tradition. They also increased taxes. The new land taxes made it difficult for many to grow enough food. Many people were hungry from this effect. So the Sepoys rebelled against the British. The Sepoy Rebellion was also called the First War of Independence in India.

Hopefully, this helps! :D

Ask your question below!

on 6 november american voters will elect members of the house of representatives and the senate, which together are called congress.

both houses of congress are currently controlled by the republican party, which backs president donald trump.

the democrats think they can win control of the house of representatives this year by winning a majority of seats.

doing so would let them block or delay the president’s plans by refusing to enact them.

all 435 seats in the house of representatives are up for election.

if the democrats want to take control of the house by having the most seats, they’re going to have to claim at least 23 from the republicans.
