Sepoy Mutiny (may 10, 1857 – jul 8, 1859)
Description:
The Sepoy Mutiny was a large-scale uprising against British rule in India, sparked by Indian soldiers in the British East India Company's army who revolted due to grievances over cultural insensitivity and harsh treatment. The rebellion quickly spread, with widespread fighting across northern and central India, as both Indian soldiers and civilians rebelled against British control. While the mutiny was a reaction to colonial exploitation, it also represented a broader resistance to British imperialism, challenging British authority in India.Added to timeline:
