World War I, Took Place Between The Periods 1914 To 1918.

Intervening by Britain in India resulted in the rising to fame of Ghandi, and the non-violent rebellion

Your textbook (and most short accounts) depict the war as Indians against English colonists; how is that depiction accurate, and why or why not?

After the war, the remaining Indians that had survived the battle were used for slavery. Subsequently, during the new time for the Indians to be slaves, there were many disputes while colonists sought to settle in America; many women and children were killed because of it. Margret Ellen Newell states,” For some Indians, servitude lasted only until the age of 24. But others were bound to masters for indefinite periods. Indian slaves and household servants appear on census rolls and court records well into the 18th century.” (Newell 2001, paragraph 14). Many of the other

Also known as India’s First War for Independence, this rebellion was between Indian Sepoys and the British East India Company. Before this mutiny, the British East India Company had total control over Indian, however afterwards, Indian was directly controlled by the British Raj. Because of this the British government had even more control over Indian and her laws, similar to how Britain gained more control of North America after the Seven Years War. One thing that stayed the same before and after the rebellion was the rebel’s cause. Indian citizens began to continue their criticism of the unfair rule of the British, similar to how some American colonists were rebelling against the new, stricter

In 1757, Great Britain extended its empire into India. This occupation would not fully end until 1947. In the time between, there were many movements by the Indian people to gain independence from the British. The movement that finally succeeded in winning India’s independence was led by one of the most influential figures of the 20th century, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Gandhi’s methods for fighting against the occupation of the British were very different from those of any of the freedom movements before. And that was why it worked. Gandhi did not agree with the general reasoning of the time: that conflicts could be solved through negotiation and forceful resistance.1 Rather, his faith led him to go

As shown in document one, William Smith, a British soldier states, ¨They delivered up their beloved captives with utmost reluctance… they visited them from day to day; and brought them what corn, skins, horses, and other matters they had bestowed on them while in their families...¨ Smith indirectly states that while the Indians were thought to be savages, they too showed compassion and loyalty, which showed the British that the Indians weren't quite as different from them as they

Indians helped America in the War of 1812, then got kicked off their land. American leaders weren’t thinking at all! The Cherokees, an indian tribe that lives in Georgia, were asked to move out by Americans, but they didn’t want to; thus, The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was created. Some people were even about to start a war just to get the indians out. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 wasn’t justified for many reasons including that the Cherokees were there first, they saw other indian tribes getting treated badly, and that the supreme court sided with the Cherokees.

after the war indians feared attacks from the british so they attacked killing people to prevent these attacks britain signed a peace treaty

with the Indians, for the most part, siding with the French against Britain. The events and

The Natives later on also had to make a decision during the War of Independence on who to choose between the British, the rebels or maintaining a neutrality. Not all tribes supported one side, with the 摘astern Indians Passamaquoddy, Penobscot and Micmac tribes of eastern Maine lending their support to the rebels. However, in the long run the majority of Indians

Even as England and its colonies celebrated their victory as a Triumph of liberty, Indians saw it as a threat to their own freedom. Indians had fought on both side in the war, although mainly as allies of the French. Their primary aim, however, was to maintain their independence from both empires. Domination by any outside power, Indians feared, meant the loss of freedom. Without consulting them, the French had ceded land Indians claimed as their own, to British control. (Foner,

During the American revolution the Indians had chosen to support the British, doing so they had killed many Americans. They had also tortured multiple Americans in awful and cruel ways. For example, it the article “Move The Cherokee To Indian Territory” states that “In many cases their

Native Americans have as we’ve read through each chapter been heavy contributors to troop numbers in every war throughout U.S. history, however, it wasn’t until more than twelve thousand Indians served in the armed forces during the World War I (WWI) that they were recognized (Calloway, 2012, p.446). By recognized, I mean as civilized human beings worthy of being a part of American society. This again showed the ignorance of our historical forefathers in their actions and dispositions in all manners of national and human interest. The president of the Society for American Indians Seneca Arthur C. Parker saw the native contribution to war as a sign of their patriotism and assimilation through their willing sacrifice, whereas the Native Americans saw the war as a chance to win honors through

In Warrior Nations: The United States and Indian Peoples by Roger L. Nichols, provides six main acts that accounts for the majority of the reasons the Indians and the Americans fought. Nichols wants readers to have an accurate account on the whys of each war and how each conflict is related with each other- with each conflict is interlock in one single web of American-Indian relations. The six reasons provide are the key threads that that locks the conflicts together.

Native American Indians played a larger role in the Seven Years ' War than they tend to be credited in many history books. While it cannot be denied that the Native Americans certainly were used as “pawns” of the European soldiers, this essential group was also motivated on its own to fight. However, there is little doubt that the Native Americans would not have had involvement in the Seven Years ' War without the nudging of leaders such as Jeffrey Amherst on the British side. ² While many – if not most – of the European soldiers did not consider the Native American Indians to be valuable as people, they still contributed lasting culture changes to the English colonists in America, their own battle strategies and trade to the French as well as a new perspective on war and life in general during the Seven Years ' War, which proved to be invaluable.
