why did the revolt of 1857(india) fail?

Question

queen's proclaimation, re-organization of the army

Answer 1

It failed because it had no agenda so far as Indian interest was concerned. The Muslims were trying to regain power with Hindu support from the English traders, but the Hindus of Hindusthan would have continued to be under rule of invaders. It was a choice between two evils so far as native Indian Hindus were concerned. Its failure was, hence, a historical inevitability.

Answer 2

There were two groups of Filipinos revolting against the Spanish: the Propaganda/Propagandistas, who used their writing; and the KKK/Katipuneros who used violence. The reasons why the propaganda failed: 1. They weren't united 2. They had limited, if any, funds. The rich who used to support them stopped sending money the reasons why the KKK failed: 1. Not enough weapons 2. Someone told the Fraile (the priests) about the KKK 3. Their leaders were caught and arrested And the Gomburzas (Gomez, Burgos, Zamora). Zamora was innocent. They were after "Jose" Zamora, not Jacinto (the one who was killed) and there was a big misunderstanding with a gambling invitation he received.

Answer 3

Well.....the main cause of the failure was the revolt was not properly organized against organized and disciplined army of british who were strong in warfare activities more accurately than those of freedom fighters......and there was also the conflict of "Who is Super to Whom?" attitude among involved princes.

Answer 4

Yes, and yes. And also, lack of planning, logistics, follow-through, discipline, etc.

But mostly, it was because the British morale went way up after telling that old joke a hundred times:

"I say Old Thing," said the Colour-Sergeant. "The Indian Peasants are Revolting!"

"Yes, they are, and we've all known it for years," said the young Leftenant. "But don't let on, they'll feel slighted, you know."

1. the revolt was not centralized.
