Answer 1

Explanation:

11 May 1857

Aided by a mob from the bazaar, the rebels killed Europeans and Indian Christians.

7 June 1857

A hastily raised force of 4,000 men succeeded in occupying a ridge overlooking Delhi, but was too weak to actually retake the city.

July-August 1857

Faced by over 30,000 mutineers the British came under increasing pressure. The army began to suffer losses through cholera. In searing heat, the British held off repeated rebel efforts to take the ridge.

14 August 1857

Reinforcements arrived from the Punjab, including a siege train of 32 guns and 2,000 men under Brigadier-General John Nicholson. En route Nicholson had executed without trial hundreds of mutineers and innocent civilians.

14 September 1857

By September the British had 9,000 men before Delhi. A third were British, the rest Sikhs, Punjabi Muslims and Gurkhas. Their assault began when artillery breached the walls and blew in the Kashmir Gate.

14-21 September 1857

It took a week of vicious street fighting before Delhi was taken. It was then ransacked in an orgy of looting and killing. But Delhi’s recapture proved the decisive factor in the suppression of the revolt.

25 June 1857

Nana Sahib learnt that a British relief force was approaching and offered the garrison safe passage downstream to Allahabad. The British boarded waiting boats and were then fired upon. Any men who survived the ambush were immediately killed.

15 July 1857

The surviving 120 women and children were imprisoned. They were murdered and their bodies thrown down a well when it was heard the British were near.

16 July 1857

Major-General Sir Henry Havelock's relief force reached Cawnpore a day later. After carrying out indiscriminate reprisals against both the guilty and innocent, Havelock marched northwards towards Lucknow, but was forced to turn back.

November 1857

Cawnpore was then held from July until November, when Lieutenant-General Sir Colin Campbell marched most of its garrison to Lucknow. He left behind a small detachment under Brigadier Charles Windham.

26 November 1857

Nana Sahib's general, Tantya Tope, had gathered an army to recapture the city. On 26 November Windham drove off Tantya's advance guard, but was forced back to Wheeler's old lines. Campbell then returned from Lucknow and found Windham surrounded and Cawnpore in rebel hands.

6 December 1857

Windham's opening bombardment deceived the rebels that Campbell was about to attack their left. His real attack was made on the right. Campbell's heavy naval guns were the decisive factor. As Tantya’s troops broke and fled, Nana Sahib's men were defeated north of the city.
