The British controlled most of India but faced unrest from Indians who believed the British were trying to force Christianity on them and take their land. Economic problems and nationalism led some Indian soldiers in the British army to rebel against their poor treatment and low pay. The rebellion grew until open conflict broke out in 1857 across many regions of India, particularly in Delhi, due to grievances like racism and imperialism. Eventually British rule of India was reformed with a new government system established in 1877.

The Sepoy Mutiny of 1857 was sparked by rumors that new gun cartridges for Indian soldiers were greased with beef and pork fat, outraging Hindu and Muslim faiths. The uprising spread across northern India but the Indians could not unite against the British due to weak leadership and religious divisions. This marked a turning point where the British government took direct control of India, establishing the British Raj and appointing a Governor-General to rule from London. In the later 1800s, Indian nationalists like Ram Mohun Roy began campaigns for modernization and greater self-governance, seeing traditional practices as hindering India's independence.

War of independence 1857
The 1857 War of Independence was sparked by many political, religious, social, and economic factors that increased resentment toward British rule in India. Politically, the British extended their control of land and replaced Persian with English as the official language. Religiously and socially, the British disrespected Indian culture and sent Christian monks to spread their religion. Economically, the British imposed heavy taxes, filled markets with cheap goods, and many Indians became impoverished. Militarily, high-ranking positions were closed to Indians. The war began when sepoys mutinied over new gun cartridges but later expanded, with Delhi and other cities captured. However, the rebellion ultimately failed due to lack of unity among differing Indian groups
1857 REVOLT
The 1857 revolt in India, also known as the Indian Mutiny or First War of Independence, began as a mutiny of sepoys in the British East India Company's army against new equipment and policies undermining Indian religions. It erupted into broader rebellions across northern and central India led by rulers and civilians of different classes and groups opposed to British colonial rule. The immediate causes included the rumored greasing of cartridges with cow and pig fat offensive to Hindus and Muslims, as well as wider political, economic, military, social, and religious grievances. In the aftermath, the British government took direct control of India from the East India Company and instituted reforms while also punishing perceived mutiny leaders and participants.
Rise of Nationalism in India
O Nationalism in India grew in the late 19th century as the country faced political, social, and economic changes under British rule. Mohandas Gandhi emerged as a leader of the independence movement in the 1920s, advocating for nonviolent civil disobedience. Major events like the Amritsar Massacre and Salt March mobilized many Indians against British rule. While the British made some concessions, Gandhi and the Indian National Congress pushed for full independence, which was achieved in 1947.

The Indian Rebellion of 1857 was a major but ultimately unsuccessful uprising against British rule in India. It began as a mutiny of sepoys in the town of Meerut and erupted into other mutinies and civilian rebellions across northern and central India. The rebellion posed a major threat to British power but was eventually contained. Its causes included resentment towards British interference in Indian social and cultural affairs as well as exploitative economic policies like land revenue systems that impoverished peasants. Politically, the British annexation of Indian states and use of the Doctrine of Lapse to take territories angered local rulers. The rebellion highlighted weaknesses in British administration in India and led to direct rule by the British government rather than the East
Indian nationalism and gandhi
- India was partitioned in 1947 when it gained independence from Britain, dividing it into the nations of India and Pakistan.
- The partition aimed to separate India along religious lines but resulted in mass violence and displacement as millions of Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs crossed the new borders.
- Over 15 million people became refugees as a result of the partition, which left deep wounds that have impacted India-Pakistan relations to this day.

The document summarizes the causes and key events of the Indian Rebellion of 1857 against British rule. The rebellion was caused by political, economic, religious and military grievances against the British East India Company's rule. Key events included the disputed greased cartridges that sparked the rebellion in Meerut, the capture of Delhi under the Mughal emperor, uprisings in Kanpur, Lucknow, Jhansi and other regions, and resistance led by figures like Rani Laxmi Bai. Ultimately, the rebellion failed due to a lack of unity and leadership, shortage of resources, and superior British military capabilities and technology.
The revolt of 1857
The document summarizes the causes and key events of the revolt of 1857 in India against British rule. It lists economic, political, social, religious, and military causes for the revolt. A major cause was the fear that Britain wanted to destroy Indian religion and impose Christianity. The revolt began small in Meerut over greased gun cartridges but then grew, spreading to many areas. Important leaders of the revolt included Rani Laxmibai of Jhansi and Bahadur Shah Zafar in Delhi. After suppressing the revolt, Britain took direct control of India from the East India Company and Queen Victoria became Empress of India.
Coming of the europeans
The document discusses the revolt of 1857 in India against British rule. It provides details on the immediate reason for the revolt being the introduction of the Enfield rifle cartridge that was greased with cow or pig fat, offending Hindu and Muslim sentiments. It also lists the religious, political and economic causes that led to broader discontent. The revolt shook the British East India Company's rule but ultimately failed due to a lack of clear leadership and post-British victory plans among Indian rulers who aided the revolt. It led to direct British rule over India and the rise of the Indian National Congress to advocate for Indians.
Indian societies
The document summarizes America and Canada's differing approaches to dealing with indigenous populations in the late 1840s as western expansion increased settlement on traditional tribal lands. The U.S. forcibly relocated many tribes to reservations in Oklahoma against their will, leading to decades of conflict, while Canada took a less violent approach through police forces. Both nations then tried to assimilate indigenous children through residential schools that sought to replace native languages and customs with English and Christianity, but tribal identity largely remained intact.

Sepoy Mutiny of India
- 1. Michelle Alcántara, Pablo Rodríguez & Ivanna Arzate
- 2. British controlled most of the Indian subcontinent. Indians believed that in addition they controlled their land, they interpreted British were trying force them to adopt Christianity. Indian people also suffered racism from part of the British
- 3. Indians got rebel: Economic problems started for the Indians. Also, they had feelings of nationalism. They were gossips that it will be revolutions made by Indians for having back their land. In that time, there was two groups: Hindus and Muslims. Hindus considered the crowd sacred, while Muslims were surprised by the news.
- 5. Some small groups of Indians, that were part of the of the British army, started to rebel against the government. Indians that were part of the army wanted better services the British people give them. The British handled the crisis in a badly way. The soldiers who had disobeyed and join the rebels, were jailed.
- 6. There were a lot of reasons this started, like: The Indian soldiers were dissatisfied with their pay as well as with certain changes in regulations. They also resented the constant racism that the British expressed toward them. The idea of Imperialism between Indians make them think that were trying to convert them in something they´re not.
- 7. It started in 1850, when British had Indians land. The ideas of the rebellions started in 1857. It was in May 10, 1857 when the sepoys rebelled. Finally, in 1877, British take another way of government and things where better for all. All this place events occurred in India, mostly in Delhi.
- 8. We think that was great that the people of India rebel of British army, there were not happy to be there they were treated them badly, they don´t have enough money and food, they were brave about what they do and they do the best for them, even British finished having the control of the Indians land, they worked in a different way to all have the same things and rights.
