Answer:

The Taiping Rebellion and Indian Mutiny were both revolts caused by Britain's actions, motivated by their wish to control international trade in stride towards their Imperialistic goals of globalizing their trade network to maximize profit and control.

Answer: Both the Sepoy Mutiny and the Taiping Revolution were uprisings against foreign powers and were driven by a desire for political and social change. However, the Sepoy Mutiny was mainly a military rebellion against the British East India Company, while the Taiping Revolution was a civil war that aimed to overthrow the Qing Dynasty.
