Question

what was the immediate cause for the sepoy mutiny?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The immediate cause for the revolt was the introduction of the new Enfield rifle to the British Indian Army. To load it, the sepoys had to bite off the ends of greased cartridges that held the gunpowder for the rifle

Answer 2

The immediate cause for the sepoy mutiny is when the rumour about the Enfield rifle, coated with cow and pig fat spread. At first it was considered to be a rumour, but when it was secretly seen by the Indian sepoys, Mangal Pandey rose up in rebellion and shot down his sergeant. This triggered the revolt and other sepoys, followed by the local people and kings and queens soon came into the revolt.
