Hy mate here is ur ans ❣️❣️

The Indian Rebellion of 1857 was a major, but ultimately unsuccessful, uprising in India in 1857–58 against the rule of the British East India Company, which functioned as a sovereign power on behalf of the British Crown.[4][5] The rebellion began on 10 May 1857 in the form of a mutiny of sepoys of the Company's army in the garrison town of Meerut, 40 mi (64 km) northeast of Delhi (now Old Delhi). It then erupted into other mutinies and civilian rebellions chiefly in the upper Gangetic plain and central India,[a][6][b][7] though incidents of revolt also occurred farther north and east.[c][8] The rebellion posed a considerable threat to British power in that region,[d][9] and was contained only with the rebels' defeat in Gwalior on 20 June 1858.[10] On 1 November 1858, the British granted amnesty to all rebels not involved in murder, though they did not declare the hostilities to have formally ended until 8 July 1859. Its name is contested, and it is variously described as the Sepoy Mutiny, the Indian Mutiny, the Great Rebellion, the Revolt of 1857, the Indian Insurrection, and the First War of Independence.

Background about the Kingdom of Awadh

The Awadh, (called Awadh by the British) State was a princely state in the Awadh region of North India.

• Upon the decline of the Mughal Empire, following the death of Emperor Aurangazeb, the governors of local provinces began to consolidate their own power. One such province was Awadh. The governors of Awadh began to exert greater autonomy until Awadh evolved into an independent state that controlled fertile lands of the Central and Lower Doab region. Its power was checked by the British East India Company following the Battle of Buxar in 1764. In its aftermath, Awadh came under the nominal control of the British colonial powers.

• The capital of Awadh was Faisalabad. British agents, then going by the term “residents”, had their base of operations in Lucknow. The Nawab of Awadh erected a Residency in Lucknow as a wider programme of civic reforms.

• The Battle of Buxar, saw the combined armies of the Nawab of Awadh (Shuja-ud-daulah), the Nawab of Bengal and the Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II defeated by the British. Following the battle, the British became the paramount power in the region.
• In 1765 the Treaty of Allahabad was signed. The treaty stated that the East India Company would receive Rs. 50 lakh from Awadh. In return, both the parties were to help each other in case of war with any other power.In May 1816 the Kingdom of Awadh became a British protectorate.
• Wajid Ali Shah was the Nawab of Awadh from 1822. He was the tenth Nawab and was to be the final one.
