The mutiny of 1857 was a major uprising against British rule in India. It began on May 10, 1857, when sepoys (Indian soldiers) in the Bengal Army refused to use new cartridges that they believed were greased with pig and cow fat, which was offensive to both Hindus and Muslims. The mutiny quickly spread to other parts of India, and by the end of 1857, the British had lost control of most of the country. The mutiny was eventually suppressed, but it had a profound impact on British rule in India.
