Question

Describe the political causes of the Revolt of 1857. Why did the Revolt of 1857 fail?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The main political cause for the great revolt of 1857 was the policy of Doctrine of Lapse. It was an annexation policy purportedly used by Lord Dalhousie as per which any princely state or territory under the British East India Company would automatically be annexed if the ruler died without a male heir.

The revolt of 1857 suffered from a weak leadership. It was not planned and organized. There was a clear lack of unity among the rebels and there was no common purpose among them during the revolt of 1857.Also, the rulers of Kashmir, Gwalior, and Hyderabad helped the British against the revolt.
