THE SEPOY REBELLION
One of the most well-known uprisings during the British
colonization of India was a mutiny of the native troops known as
"sepoys". When it began on
Sunday, May 10, 1857 the Sepoyrebellion was a complete surprise to the British,
many of whom were "blind to the unrest that had been created, in part, by
the rapid imposition of direct British control over two-thirds of India"
[1]. The campaign to suppress the revolt
lasted until April 1859 [2].
