What happened on 10th may 1857?

Answer 1

On May 10, 1857, the Indian Rebellion, also known as the Sepoy Mutiny or the First War of Indian Independence, began when Indian soldiers (sepoys) in the British East India Company’s army mutinied against their British officers in Meerut. This uprising was sparked by a variety of grievances, including the introduction of new rifle cartridges rumored to be greased with animal fat, which offended both Hindu and Muslim soldiers. The rebellion quickly spread to other regions, leading to widespread violence and a significant challenge to British colonial rule in India. The revolt ultimately led to the British government taking direct control of India, marking the end of the East India Company's rule.
