Mind Map of the Revolt of 1857

The Revolt of 1857 was fueled by political grievances, military injustices, and socio-religious discrimination, leading to a lack of unified leadership among the rebels. The British regained control by 1859, resulting in the 1858 Act that transferred power from the East India Company to the British crown. Key leaders included Rani Laxmi Bai and Mangal Pandey, with significant events occurring in cities like Delhi and Kanpur.
