The Sepoy Rebellion of 1857, also known as the Indian Mutiny, was triggered by the introduction of the new Enfield rifle, which used cartridges believed to be greased with animal fat, including that of cows and pigs. This was offensive to both Hindu and Muslim sepoys, as it violated their religious beliefs. The immediate incident that ignited the rebellion was the refusal of sepoys to use the cartridges, leading to widespread protests and violent uprisings against British rule. The rebellion ultimately reflected deeper discontent with British policies and practices in India.
The incident that triggered the beginning of World War 1 was the assassination of the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne.

In chapter 2, it quoted that "And so, almost before they knew what was happening, the Rebellion had been successfully carried through: Jones was expelled, and the Mankr Farm was theirs." Imp the Rebellion wasn't expected as you can tell. It was triggered by the irresponsibility of Jones and his workers ill-treating the animals. Unable to take it anymore, they fought for their food and rebellion happened.
