Imperial grip, taxes without consent, and colonial politics made rebellion almost inevitable. The distant crown's meddling left little room for reconciliation.
Agree. Another angle: rebellion festered where the ruler alienates the middle class and troops; bind elites, tax fairly, and keep the army loyal to curb distant meddling.
Disagree. Knowledge and reason, not rebellion alone, move society toward justice; science can liberate minds and soften tyranny.
I disagree. Repression can fuel resilience, but it's not inevitable; art and solidarity can redefine our future.
