The Sepoy Uprising, which took place in India in 1857 - 58, is seen as one of the most shocking insurrections to take place against a colonial power during the 19th century. Although the uprising was ultimately unsuccessful, it fundamentally changed the nature of British rule in the subcontinent and is sometimes known, in India, as the First War of Independence.

  • The phrase to "bite the bullet" is said to have evolved from the British expression "to bite the cartridge" referring to the reloading method of the new Pattern 1853 Enfield rifled musket during the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857.
  • "Tries to kill himself, failed, arrested, sentenced to death" poor guy.
  • *Shoots himself point blank and doesn't die, gets arrested and is sentenced to death* Robespierre: First time?
  • “Gurkhas and Sikhs remained loyal” Close call, British Empire O_O
  • “Tried to kill himself, failed, arrested, and sentenced to death.” task failed successfully
  • You missed one the most important points that led to the revolt of 1857 , the "doctrine of lapse"
  • Age of Empires 3 - The Asian Dynasties, the Indian campaign.
  • I immediately get a flashback to my Age of Empires III: Asian Dynasties Indian Campaign
  • When your history teacher assigns you an essay on stuff hes never even mentioned
  • Sepoys: “You Insult our religious customs in our face after recently taking over India and expect us NOT to revolt!? THINK EAST INDIA COMPANY! THINK!”
  • When the 2 main religions have just 2 simple things that are holy, and you manage to offend both in one fell swoop
  • Damn. That Ancient Roman absolutely DESTROYED that popcorn and hot dog.
  • According to Jules Verne Prince Dakkar aka Captain Nemo started on his quest for revenge following the loss of both his kingdom and family during the Sepoy Rebellion. It’s what gave him his hatred of imperialism and caused him to build the Nautilus.
  • The ironic thing is that the rebels had to use the Endfield rifles and bullets, and probably continued biting them
