sepoy mutiny
The Sepoy Mutiny, also known as the Indian Rebellion of 1857, was a violent and widespread insurrection against British rule in India. It was sparked by the introduction of cartridges for the new Enfield rifle, rumored to have a cow and pig fat coating that was offensive to both Hindu and Muslim soldiers (known as sepoys). The rebellion, while ultimately unsuccessful, marked a significant turning point in the history of British colonization in India, leading to the dissolution of the British East India Company and direct rule under the British Crown.
