Question

The British Cape Colony’s attempt to take these objects from the Basuto people ignited a namesake war in 1880. The inhabitants of the Chatham Islands were decimated during a conflict (15[1])named for these things that led to the Moriori (“MO-ree-aw-ree”) genocide. (15[1])These objects name a series of intertribal wars among the Maori. Rumors that (15[1])(*) Minié (“mini”) balls used by these devices (10[1])were greased (10[1])with (10[1])animal fat (10[1])helped (10[1])spark (10[1])the (10[1])Sepoy Mutiny. Enfield contains the Royal Small Arms Factory that historically produced these weapons for the British Empire. For 10 points, name these weapons, whose types include the rifle (10[1])and musket. ■END■
