Explanation:
The Sepoy Rebellion began on 10 May 1857, when the native troops of the British East India Company in Meerut refused to obey their officers. It developed into rebellion across much of northern and central India, with the fighting mainly in the territories that are now the provinces of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and northern Madhya Pradesh.
For a time British control over India was at stake. The rebels captured the city of Delhi, where the Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar was proclaimed Emperor of Hindustan. Gradually with the arrival of more British troops the rebels were defeated. Delhi was regained in September 1857, but the fighting continued for months afterwards; Gwalior was only captured on 20 June 1858.
