Final answer:
The Jews rebelled against Rome due to heavy taxation, corruption among Roman leaders, and the destruction of the Jewish Temple. They also resisted the imposed rituals that contradicted their monotheistic beliefs and endured restrictions on their rights by Roman emperors.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Jews rebelled against Rome for several reasons.
A) They were tired of being ruled by corrupt leaders, enduring heavy taxation and resenting the imposition of Roman rulers. As part of their rebellion, one of the key issues was the refusal to partake in rituals acknowledging the divinity of the emperors due to their strict monotheism, clashing with Roman religious expectations.
B) Roman troops had destroyed the Jewish Temple during the suppression of the Jewish revolt which began in 66 CE, leading to the loss of a central and sacred place for the Jewish people.
D) Roman emperors restricted some Jewish rights, including their cultural and religious practices which often conflicted with Roman state practices and social norms. This, combined with the forced participation in emperor worship and the destruction of the Temple, contributed to the strife.
The option C) Rome forced Jews to convert to Roman religion is not specifically supported by historical evidence, as Rome typically allowed for a degree of religious autonomy provided that political loyalty was maintained, although there was strong pressure to conform to Roman religious practices.
