Mark it as the brainliest answer.
The revolt of 1857 is the first war of independence also known as sepoy mutiny. Not because only sepoys revolted against the East India company...it's because the sepoys became the immediate cause fire the mutiny.There are many important causes like doctrine of lapse , administration of Lord Dalhousie and many such reasons....but due to rumor or many be true that artillery were greased with animal fats(cow and pig), it had become a religious cause for the native sepoys as Hindus consider cow as sacred and Muslims consider pigs as a disgust.Hence it become the immediate cause for the revolt but it's not completely led by sepoys .Many leaders like lakshmi bai of jhansi, tantya tope, nana sahib etc led it . I hope it would be useful.

. There is a discrepancy between the western and Indian historians over 1857 rebellion . Some say it was a sepoy mutiny whereas others suggest that it was the first war of independence. Some regard it as the biggest armed resistance to colonialism in the nineteenth century anywhere in the world. A situation developed in the northern parts of India in 1857 when the English East India Company faced a massive rebellion and that threatened the Company’s very presence in India. Sepoys mutinied in several places beginning from Meerut and a large number of people from different sections of society rose up in rebellion. Thus it would be unfair to just minimise it at the level of sepoy mutiny.
