- The revolt is widely considered the First War of Indian Independence due to the widespread participation of Indian rulers, the masses, and the militia.
- The British introduction of the "zamindari system" led to the ruin of peasants due to exorbitant charges imposed by the new landlords.
- The influx of British manufactured goods destroyed the livelihood of Indian craftsmen.
- The British administration endangered the religious and caste system, which formed the foundation of traditional Indian society.
-  Indian soldiers and administrators were denied advancement in their careers as senior positions were reserved for Europeans.
- The Mutiny was ignited in Meerut on May 9, 1857, when sepoys refused to use cartridges greased with cow and pig fat, which were considered offensive to their religious beliefs.
- The rebel forces captured Delhi and provoked uprisings throughout India.
- The most intense battles occurred in Delhi, Awadh, Rohilkhand, Bundelkhand, Allahabad, Agra, Meerut, and western Bihar.
