What caused the nika rebellion?

Answer 1

The Nika Riots took place in Constantinople in 532. There was a lot of unrest at the time because of high taxes and wars.

Politics in Constantinople was dominated by factions which were identified by the colors of liveries of chariot teams they supported. The most important were the Blues and the Greens. After races, they commonly rioted. When a number of people were killed in riots, the murderers were caught and sentenced to death. This led to more riots, and in the end, about half of Constantinople was burned down. Many thousands of people were killed, and the riots were put down with brutal force.

Answer 2

The Nika Riots took place in Constantinople in 532 AD. They destroyed nearly half the city and many thousands of people died over the course of a single week.

The causes of the Nika Riots were political differences, but the immediate cause was the question of superiority of the Blues (who backed chariot racers with blue livery) or the Greens (who backed racers with green). The question of Blues vs. Greens persisted for generations.
