Three Things I Learned...
  1. India was considered by Britain the brightest "jewel in the crown" because it was the most valuable of all Britain's colonies.
  2. The British people loved spices, and that was one of their biggest cash crops.
  3. The Sepoy Mutiny was caused by religious beliefs and the beliefs on two different cultures.
Two Things That Interested Me...
  1. That the British traded Opium with China for tea.
  2. Despite using cash crops in India, making them economically efficient, the entered into a loss of self-sufficiency and famine.
One Question I still Have...
