Answer:
The main event which became the immediate cause of the war was the refusal of the Sepoys to use the grease covered cartridges (greased with fat of pig and cow) on January 23, 1857. At the same time, an Indian sepoy killed two British officers at Barrackpore, when he was forced to use greased cartridges.

EVENTS LED TO REVOLUTION
After the downfall of Mughals and seeing the Maratha powers lost in IIIrd Battle of Panipat the Britishers followed an expansionist policy:
The annexation of Indian States by Doctrine of Lapse Policy.
The annexation of Awadh on the charge of Mis-Governance.
Disrespectful behaviour of English towards the Mughal Emperor as he was told to relinquish the Red Fort and also they said from now on his successor will not accept the regal title i.e Emperor of India.
Pensions of Certain rulers like Nana Saheb was Stopped.
CONSEQUENCES
a. Changed dynamics of British Rule forever. Transfer of administration to British Crown, Abolition of the Company Rule.
b. The era of annexation and expansion ended. Princely states were promised partial autonomy while remaining under British protection.
c. The British policy of ‘Divide and Rule’ would dominate future events (to weaken Hindu-Muslim unity showcased in the Revolt of 1857).
