The revolt in 1857 was also known as the Sepoy Mutiny in India. It was caused because of the growing displeasure of the Indian soldiers working for the British East India Company. What sparked the revolt was that the British East India company gave the soldiers cartridges greased with cow and pig fat, which is against Hindu and Muslim religious ideology. This caused a revolt from the Sepoys, which caused the British Empire to take India from the BEI company.
