The revolt of 1857 is also known as the Sepoy Mutiny or the first war of independence.
It was in this war that the Indian nationals first revolted against the British as a collective.
This was mainly because of the Enfield cartridges which they had to open with their mouth and was rumoured to be containing beef and pork fat.

Answer:
An uprising in several sepoy companies of the Bengal army was sparked by the issue of new gunpowder cartridges for the Enfield rifle in February 1857. Loading the Enfield often required tearing open the greased cartridge with one's teeth, and many sepoys believed that the cartridges were greased with cow and pig fat.
