The Rebellion of 1857, also known as the Sepoy Mutiny, aimed to establish Indian independence from British colonial rule. It was fueled by widespread discontent among Indian soldiers (sepoys) and various segments of society due to economic exploitation, cultural insensitivity, and religious grievances. The rebellion sought to restore the Mughal Empire and was marked by a desire for self-governance and freedom from foreign domination. Although it ultimately failed, it marked a significant turning point in India's struggle for independence.
After the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857, also known as the First War of Independence, British control over India was formally transferred from the East India Company to the British Crown. This change was enacted through the Government of India Act 1858, which established direct British rule in India. The British Raj was then instituted, marking a significant shift in governance and administration in Indian territories.
The armed rebellion that led the British forces to seize direct control over India in 1858 was the Indian Rebellion of 1857, also known as the Sepoy Mutiny. It began as a revolt by Indian soldiers (sepoys) against the British East India Company's policies and practices, including the use of animal fat in rifle cartridges, which offended both Hindu and Muslim soldiers. The rebellion quickly spread to various parts of India, leading to widespread violence and unrest. In response, the British government dissolved the East India Company and established direct rule over India, marking the beginning of the British Raj.
