The Indian 'Mutiny'?
Analyse evidence from documents and artefacts, then curate an exhibition to make a case for whether the conflict was a mutiny or war of independence.
What's your verdict: mutiny, rebellion or war of independence?
Examine the social and political environment in India during East India Company rule, and how a particular set of circumstances sparked what came to be known as the Indian Mutiny in 1857.
