Reasons for the failure of the revolt of 1857 1857?
The Indian Mutiny of 1857 failed for a number of reasons. First of all, only a limited number of Indian states joined the rebellion, while a much larger number of states r…emained loyal to the British and others did not get themselves involved. Also many sepoy troops and the Sikhs, Gurkha and Pathans - renowned and fierce fighters - remained loyal, and all in all the British had over 100,000 troops with which to counter the rebellion.

And cruelties and mass murders by the rebels of Europeans - a large part of them women and children - made the British fiercely determined not to come to any agreement with the rebel forces and states. It took a while for the British to get themselves organized, but when they did, they moved their armies against the less well armed and organized rebels and their strongholds.
