Question

Why did the 1857 uprisings against the British rule fall ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Indian Rebellion of 1857 is also called the Indian Mutiny, the Sepoy Mutiny, North India's First War of Independence or North India's first struggle for independence. It began on 10 May 1857 at Meerut, as a mutiny of sepoys of the British East India Company's army.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The British stripped them of their uniforms and put them in chains. Other sepoys revolted on May 10, 1857, and things quickly became chaotic as mobs attacked British civilians, including women and children. Mutineers traveled the 40 miles to Delhi and soon the large city erupted in a violent revolt against the British.
