Great job on completing the lesson! Here are the explanations for the answers to the questions:
1. The reason Persia attracted foreign interest in the early 1900s was because oil was discovered there. This discovery made Persia a valuable resource for many Western powers seeking access to oil.
2. The effect of the sepoy rebellion was that the British Parliament put India under the rule of the British government and monarch. The rebellion, which was a revolt by Indian soldiers against British rule, led to a more direct control and governance of India by the British.
3. One way that Western powers gained the upper hand in Muslim regions of the world was by sending troops to protect their interests. This military intervention allowed Western powers to establish control and influence in Muslim regions, often to secure resources or strategic advantages.
4. A difference between the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League was that the Muslim League wanted a separate Muslim state. While both groups were involved in advocating for Indian independence from British rule, the Muslim League specifically sought to create a separate nation for Muslims, which led to the eventual partition of India and the creation of Pakistan.
5. One cause of the Armenian genocide was nationalist sentiments leading to the persecution of Armenians. During the late Ottoman Empire, tensions between the ruling Turkish Muslims and the Christian Armenian population grew, with nationalist sentiments contributing to discrimination and eventually genocide against Armenians.
6. Britain wanted to control the Suez Canal because it provided a shortcut to India. The Suez Canal, located in Egypt, provided a crucial maritime route connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, which significantly reduced travel time and costs for ships traveling to and from India, one of Britain's most valuable colonies at the time.
7. Britain and Russia became involved in the "Great Game" in Central Asia because Britain sought to protect its interests in India and stop Russian expansion. The Great Game was a geopolitical struggle between the British Empire and the Russian Empire for control and influence in Central Asia. Britain's main objective was to maintain its control over India and prevent Russian encroachment into the region.
8. The immediate cause of the sepoy rebellion was the use of pig and cow-based cartridges in the Indian soldiers' guns. The cartridges were rumored to be greased with animal fat, which violated religious beliefs of both Hindu and Muslim soldiers. This sparked widespread discontent and eventually led to the rebellion.
9. A pattern of response to Western imperialism in South Asia was that the upper classes benefited most and often embraced colonial rule. The upper classes in South Asia, including the aristocracy and wealthy elites, often collaborated with the British colonial administration. They benefited from the opportunities for education, employment, and increased social status that came with British rule.
10. The main reason for the Armenian genocide was that Muslim Turks thought Christian Armenians were supporting Russia. During World War I, the Ottoman Empire, which was ruled by Muslim Turks, perceived the Christian Armenian population as a threat due to their perceived support for Russia, the Ottoman Empire's enemy at the time. This led to widespread persecution, deportation, and massacres of Armenians, resulting in a genocide.
