The Sepoy Rebellion versus the Taiping Rebellion

Justin Wickett 5/25/2004 The Sepoy Rebellion versus the Taiping Rebellion Although India and China are different when it comes to religion and culture, the Taiping Rebellion in China and the Sepoy Rebellion in India had their similarities and their differences, which allowed them to succeed in some parts of their rebellions and fail in other. However, neither of these rebellions were truly successful in the sense that neither of them achieved their main goals. Even though …

…successful. Overall, even though the Sepoy Rebellion and the Taiping Rebellion had different forms of leadership that used different tactics and methods while rebelling, both of the rebellions were failures in the long run. Although they both were partly successful in achieving their primary goals, the reaction by the authorities and the British proved to be too much and the rebels were soon defeated depending on what type of military tactics they had originally incorporated.
