$\textbf{Significance of the revolt:-}$

The Revolt of 1857 was an unrivalled event in the history of British rule in India. It united though in a limited way, many sections of Indian society for a common cause.

Though the revolt failed to achieve the desired goal, it sowed the seeds of Indian nationalism.

$\textbf{Nature of the revolt:-}$

The Revolt of 1857 has been termed as a 'Sepoy Mutiny' by the British. Some Indian historians prefer to call it the 'First War of Independence'.

The truth perhaps lies somewhere in between the two views. Since the rulers, nobles and sepoys participated in it, calling it only a sepoy mutiny would be incorrect.

The Revolt of 1857 was a prolonged period of armed uprising as well as rebellions in Northern and Central India against British occupation of that part of the subcontinent. Small precursors of brewing discontent involving incidences of arson in cantonment areas began to manifest themselves in January. Later, a large-scale rebellion broke out in May and turned into what may be called a full-fledged war in the affected region. This war brought about the end of the British East India Company’s rule in India, and led to the direct rule by the British Government (British Raj) of much of the Indian Subcontinent for the next 90 years.
