Explanation

The first war of Independence in India started on May 10, 1857. This was a significant event in the history of India as it marked the beginning of a widespread rebellion against British colonial rule. The war was triggered by various factors including the introduction of new rifle cartridges greased with animal fat, which offended the religious beliefs of both Hindu and Muslim soldiers in the British Indian army. The rebellion spread rapidly across northern and central India, and although it was ultimately suppressed by the British, it laid the foundation for the Indian independence movement that would eventually lead to the country's freedom in 1947.
