What major event's warning signs did critics say Dalhousie failed to see?
World War I
The Great Depression
Indian Rebellion of 1857
The Opium Wars
Answer
The Indian Rebellion of 1857 was sparked by multiple factors including social and religious tensions amplified by British rule. Critics argue that Then-Governor-General Lord Dalhousie overlooked or ignored these warning signs, particularly those related to the annexation of Oudh and the introduction of the Enfield rifle with cartridges rumored to be made of cow and pig fat, further inflaming religious grievances.
