The revolt of 1857, also known as the Sepoy Mutiny or the First War of Indian Independence, broke out first in the town of Meerut, located in northern India. On May 10, 1857, Indian soldiers (sepoys) in the British East India Company's army rebelled against their British officers, leading to widespread uprisings across various regions of India. The revolt was fueled by grievances over cultural insensitivity, military practices, and economic exploitation by the British.
