Answer 1

The rebellion of May 1857 threatened the Company’s very presence in India. The mutiny which started from the cantonment in Meerut engulfed a large part of northern and central India. People from different sections of society rose up in rebellion. Many historians regard it as the biggest armed resistance to colonialism in the nineteenth century anywhere in the world.
