Hello, 3Coli here!

The answer to your problem is:

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

Answer:

The United nations also known as the UN has assisted several people in times of war. The UN have different committees, there's the World Health Organization, International criminal court, the committee dedicated to helping refugees, and many other ones. The representatives from each nation gather in their committees and debate on resolutions to the current crisis. Each committee focuses on a different part of the crisis and helps anyone in need. It has helped with money. But their primary fact is to keep peace world-wide and that why they have 2 olive branches surrounding the earth as a slogan for peace. Olive branches represent peace a world is world wide.
