Chapter 27.4

In this time period Great Britain had strong imperialism and occupied India as on of its colonies. Britain controlled India through military occupation but some of the soldier, the sepoys, used in India were actually Indian men hired to be soldiers for Britain. India had great potential, as it was a supplier of raw goods and also a market for British goods and thus it earned its name as the brightest “jewel in the crown” or more profitable colony in the British empire. However the crown jewel’s luster was soon diminished as the Sepoy Mutiny occurred causing sepoy soldier to rebel against Britain for their disregard of religious beliefs of the Indian people. This mutiny was a major turning point that lead to direct British rule and a time period called the Raj.
