Causes Of The Rebellion Of 1857

The rebellions of Upper and Lower Canada were in the interests of self-government but were doomed to failure from their beginning. Each of these two colonies encountered a great deal of problems right from the institution of the Constitution Act of 1791 and the problems continually got worse until the only choice to some seem to be rebellion. There were several problems that lead to the rebellions of 1837-38. In Lower Canada there was the agricultural crisis that caused a large number of starvations, to the French and English political and social problems within the colony. There were several different reasons that caused the rebellion in Upper Canada but these caused were mainly rooted in

Do you ever think about the fights that your state or country had to get through just so they could give the citizens a safe place to live? Because, the soldiers of the Texas Revolution had to fight long and hard to ensure the citizens of Texas a safe and independant place to live. It took a lot of guts to stand up to the Mexican Officials who ruled over Texas. They had to resist the strong hold Mexico had on Texas. Texas has one of the most interesting stories about resisting authority.

The Indian Mutiny, also known as the Indian Revolt, was a war between the Indians and the British. Basically the war was due to the prolonged British occupation over the land of the Indians. The war was the first war that the Indians fought over their independence and the Sepoy Mutiny. The British launched their presence in India during the 17th century. This was at the part time of the Mogul empire. At this period of time, the territory of Bombay had just been acquired by the East India Company which had over the years expanded its territory. The company had a strong army which eventually took-out the French after the Battle of Plassey, 1757, hundred years earlier. The army of the Indian soldiers was compromised of British soldiers who acted as the commanders. They were called sepoys. This war was propelled by several causes and eventually resulted to several consequences. We shall start by looking into the causes. These causes were mainly as a result of the policy of westernization.

The American Revolution had 1500 farmers that had protested in Shay’s Rebellion. Daniel Gray is a guy that was part of the committee for the above purposes. Although Shay’s farmers did some good things, but i think they are rebels, nevertheless they are blaming colonies for the little money they have, and they have broken laws about different things.

Turkish people known as the Mughals extended their authority and their empire to much of the subcontinent.

During the late 1700’s, there was several protests lead by farmers that were against tax collections. The government was requesting $3 million from the states. The states requested the money in gold or silver not cheap paper money. This amount was so large, it quadrupled from the previous year’s requisition. Most states did not want to enforce the tax. Rebellions took place from New Hampshire to South Carolina, it was Massachusetts that had the worst. The farmers of Massachusetts began to petition but they went unrecognized. Them being unrecognized led them to forcibly close the county courts. The rebellion is Massachusetts was led by their leader, Daniel Shays. Which how it got its name, Shay’s Rebellion.” The rebellion was getting out of

Analysis: From this, we can see how people decided to take a rebellious act and didn’t decide to stay still. Massachusetts settlers fought through Americans taxing imported goods and ignoring what people are saying. After Massachusetts pointed out the unfair economy, other states also experienced similar situations. From this, Shays’ Rebellion, United States became a stronger nation and it resulted with a new constitution, The rebellion led George Washington to mention about the weaknesses

The cause of the sepoy mutiny started with allegedly cow-fat greased cartridges in weapons, and then lead to thoughts that the government was against the sepoys. In the following quote, Joseph Coohill states that cartridges were offensive to the Hindu and Muslim faith, and the soldiers were required to use the weapons. "Many native infantryman (sepoys) believed that these new cartridges introduced in early 1857 had been greased by cow and pig fat. The sepoys were required to bite open the cartridges, and would come into direct contact with the cow and pig grease, which was insulting to Hindus and Muslims respectively," (Document E). Since cows are sacred to those of the Hindu faith, it is sinful and against

As the British took control of India, it found ways to make India better and with its help, soon enough, India was placed as the second best economy under the British economy (British 12). India’s economy and trade had improved tremendously after the British took over because there was more money coming into India to cause such a rise in its economy. The British also built railroads which created more ease when transporting goods and trading throughout India. The railroads allowed supplies and goods to be exported quickly, bringing it to the ports. Goods that would usually take months to be traded with others now only took a few days with the installment of railroads (Fisher 348). The railroads in India impacted everyone not just the merchants and businessmen in India. But, it was especially beneficial for them because now they could make deals and have goods be transported to them without a long wait. Nevertheless it seem to be that with these new installments India could run smoothly but eventually a problem came along the way. The British did not allow Indians to make their own goods, they banned homemade crafts and since most of India was out of work, the Indians turned to the fields. Work was hard and there were certain goods they needed like clothes so they had to buy it from the British since they could no longer make it themselves from the cotton they collected. Craftsmen became farmers to pay for goods and live a stable life (Bose 53). The British had wanted to get rid of the competition for goods so they decided they want to prevent the Indians from making their own goods. That way if the Indians needed something they can only get it from the British (Bose 53). This led to economic downfall for the Indians because while they were not doing great before the British came, their economy was pretty

After the announcement of the Second Constitution, some contentions and battles had been happened between various gatherings. The rivals of the Constitution had co-worked with the seeker troops in Istanbul and revolted. The Action Army had landed from Salonica and finished the rebellion. This rebellion was called as the 31 March Event, after this occasion Committee of Union and Progress picked up force and Sultan Abdulhamid was ousted, Sultan Mehmed Resad supplanted

In the past Indians tried to rebel against the British in 1857, only to be unsuccessful. The Sepoys went against British authority because it was rumored that P-53 rifles cartridges contained animal fat. This is considered to be religiously unacceptable to Hindu and Muslim Sepoys. The reason why the mutiny was unsuccessful is that of the lack of support. In the American Revolution, the 13 colonies received support from France, Spain, and the Netherlands against the British. In Gandhi's civil disobedience, he has gained support from civilians. The rebellion against the British in 1857 was different, it was mainly comprised of Sepoys.

The Indian insurgency led to the killing of tens of thousands of Indians people, especially (sepoys) Indian soldiers, as well as local governors of semi- autonomous states who feared to lose their customs and principalities. There were many reasons for this rebellion such as, force them to use many European technologies, railroad and Western resources that were unsuited to a traditional people. European language has also been enforced in many government institutions such as schools, hospitals, and courts. Thus, began the resentment of the Indians and the rebellion After the strong rebellion from Indian people, in September 1857, British troops began to detain, kill and attack Indian people. They also besieged Delhi city

Several economic social and environmental reasons are behind the migration. The economic migration resulted in order to find a new job or to pursue a particular career.

Leading up to 1857, rebellion occurred in India which caused many lives to be lost. These lives could have been saved if India had better medical services in 1857. In 1857, the Rebels demonstrated bitterness towards foreign rule, even though this foreign rule would later try to improve India’s medical services. The Revolt of 1857 began when the sepoys proved to be the most powerful adversary at the time. The Benga l Army was larger than the two East India Company armies, and was made up of Brahman, Rajput, Hindu, Muslim, and sepoy recruits. This territorial affiliation was important because this was where the 1857 Rebellion arose. During this time, Dalhousie was a leading figure in India. Dalhousie’s purpose was not simply to acquire land for Britain but also to provide India with modern western government. He believed education was important and created new opportunities for Indians to learn Western ideas. Dalhousie brought supplementary Western ideas to India that included an improved postal service, the telegraph, and the railroads. As Dalhousie began to Westernization India, it was not a surprise the medical system soon followed the same path. Prior to westernization in India, there was little to no medical services available so improvement was needed to prevent rapidly spreading diseases, poor water laws, and misdiagnosis as India used the police to impose sanitary measures.

The rebellion occurred on 8th December 1962 during the ruler of Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Sa’adul Khairi Waddien. It involves the first nationalistic party in Brunei named Partai Rakyat Brunei (PRB), which led by Sheikh A.M. Azahari and the rebellion led by their illegal armed forced, which to be known as North Kalimantan National Army or Tentera Nasional Kalimantan Utara (TNKU) the commander, Jassin Affandy.. According to Harun Abdul Majid (2007, p.36), the revolt occurred due to the issue whether or not Brunei to join Malaysia, which to be known as Malaysian Plan. Furthermore, the 1959 constitution can also be the reason for the outbreak of the 1962 rebellion. This is because Dayang Noralipah (2010, p.163) illustrated that Partai Rakyat Brunei (PRB) reflects the dissatisfaction towards the 1959 constitution. However, Harun Abdul Majid stated that the 1962 rebellion was also because of the formation of Malaysia, but also due to another reasons such as the ambitions of the Partai Rakyat Brunei (PRB) that wanted to be independent and deport the British colonist in Brunei. They also wanted to merge Borneo territories, which involved Sabah, Sarawak and Brunei to be part of Malaysia as well as aiming to make Brunei government as a system of democracy. This essay will elaborate more further about the situation before and after the rebellion in brief and will also discuss about the other causes that affected Brunei situation that led to the 1692
