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 ironic thing is that the rebels had to use the Endfield rifles and bullets, and probably continued biting them
They used the old stock. Many kings had French trend army and ammunitions.
No they were using French weapons
either way, it would've been using heresy to destroy the heresy
Actually no, one of the reasons why the rebels were not successful was because the the weapons they used were swords and lathis(sticks). Guns used were the old ones.

This is what happens when one consults the colonialist side when describing colonized people's history. He managed to convey the East India Company had natural rights to India and supported by Indians and Indian freedom fighters were 'rebels' when even the British Imperial rule was not even there to justify calling these local leaders rebels! The East India company had by then precipitated 3 large scale famine in occupied territory when they forced Bengali farmers to plant only 'Blue' instead of food. I have reported the video for slandering our freedom fighters with misinformation like this due to his racism and perceived inferiority of us
Priya Kumari Did you watch the same clip that I did? At no point does the narrator say or imply that the East India Trading company had any natural rights to India, the did state that the signed an agreement that meant they could employ mercenaries. They’ve also not slander any of the Indian freedom fighters, they gave a balanced account of historical events and unfortunately both the British armed forces and the Indian freedom fighters committed what these days would be called war crimes.

This video was perfectly balanced both on Indian as well as British side. Being an indian we are always told about the killings done by the Britishers but never told about the brutality of the sepoys. This video cleary states what a great channel Simple History is. Thank Simple History for this video.
Umm, check your history mate. I think you forgot take some history classes. The sepoys didn’t kill as much as this video is portraying although it is the most despicable offence, no question there.

The cartridge wasn't the only problem. Sure it acted as the spark of the revolt, but the oppressive policies of the East India Company was the reason why the revolt had immense support and reached extensively to many parts of the subcontinent.
The major reason was the complete and wanton destruction of the traditional economic system that existed in India by the English. This led to impoverishment of farmers, artisans and handicraftsmen. Also the land revenue tax and policies were greatly inequitable and vexatious. Corruption was rampant in the Company's ranks.

I always found quite fascinating how conflicts change their name according to the different points of view. For the British it is the Sepoy Mutiny, for the Indians it's the First War or Independence.
Well wh don't you wikipedia the 2 palayakarars wars and vellore mutiny of 1906
India tries to make this war propaganda.
In reality, it's the same as the China-Boxer rebellion (and the fall of Burma's last dynasty) which a stupid ruler made a grave mistake.
Those locals will foreigner as barbaric. And want to keep their old outdated value.
The Ruler who lived their entire life in comfort never knew the terror of progress. When their profits were reduced, these people would stupidly wake up an unwinnable war on their own.
Interestingly, I had also observed the same thing for the American war of 1861-65. There, Northerners call it 'Civil War' because, according to them CSA was a part of the USA. South calls it the 'war of Northern aggression' because Lincoln raised an Army to invade CSA. The West, however, calls it 'a little misunderstanding between states'
i am an Indian, but I disagree on the war being termed as a war of Independence as the whole country was not completely united, for example, the Madras Armies and the ones who took the sides of the British etc. We even had like a debate in our high school regarding this, people do have different opinions Haha.
@@babyyoda1046 True that the entire geographical Indian subcontinent of today did not participate, but most of it did. And that was for the first time. Moreover, let's add one more perspective to it: It was the first time that Indians were fighting for India. What I mean to state is Muslims in Kanpur were ok with the rule of Shrimant Nana Sahib, Hindus of Oudh were fighting for their Muslim Nawab. And the entire country, irrespective of their religion, fought for the rule of Bahadur Shah Zafar. Entire India broadly wanted to be ruled by Indians, no matter who they are.

I've seen it said before that it was remarkable how Britain held an empire together with as few of their own people that they sent into it. I learned in greater detail about the origins of the Hudson's Bay Company. For a long time, it consisted only of several trading posts along the shore of the bay, and the natives brought the furs to them from far and wide. Only after the Montreal-based fur business started sending Frenchmen into the hinterlands to gather furs did they start having more than just a few people staffing a few posts.

This is video is of great interest for me. I am from a town called Lucknow and it was named after Lucknow, India. As you come into town, the sign states "Welcome to Lucknow" and then states "A Sepoy Town". The town was settled by Scottish soldiers that fought in the Battle of Lucknow. Many of the street names are named for Generals including one named in the video... Havelock. Others are Outram and Campbell (the main street of the town).

@Laltluangliana Sailop mutiny refers to a group of people refusing to obey commands. This is exactly what happened here, therefore it is called a mutiny. Mutiny isn't derogatory, it's a term for a particular event.

This is absolutely the most intense and most action-packed simple history video ever. I actually enjoyed watching the history unfold.
I feel like the animations (at least the background) have gotten way better this month
The cartridges did not have to be bitten. There was a new platoon drill introduced which showed how the cartridges could be torn instead. However, the rumour of the fat persisted. It is also necessary to note a difference between the balled and unballed cartridges. This a nice introduction to a very complicated issue. It must also be remembered that when the mutiny started, the Indians used the cartridges they had insisted they wouldn't use so it is a really necessary to look into history a bit deeper than just obvious issues. The blowing from guns was not a British invention - that was taken from the Mughals and it was not a common form of punishment but indiscriminate hanging was. The uprising in Lucknow was in May, many mutineers dispersed and after the Battle of Chinhat on the 30th of June, the Siege of Lucknow started and was first reinforced by Havelock and then relived by Colin Campbell in November. In Jhansi the British had been promised safe passage but were murdered in a garden outside the fort. They had taken refuge in the Fort and not killed in it.
That was the immediate cause of the uprising. There was also an underlying dissatisfaction against the british because of the atrocities faced by Indians..also most Hindus at that time and even today are vegetarians and consider Cow holy. This is not just any reason but a big valid reason for sepoy mutiny.
According to many accounts, this was NOT the cause, but the trigger for rising - thus causing the revolution before the planned date. If you look at the planning, the scale, the involvement etc. of the revolution, you'll find it acceptable that the revolution was planned years in advance. According to the accounts of Veer Savarkar in his book The First War of Indian Independence 1857, the last three years were just the phase of communication and preparation. 30th May was chosen as the date of uprising. But the circumstances caused due to cartridge issue led to an immature uprising on 10th May
Most hindus were not vegeterians back then and they certainly are not today. And Hindus not eating beef is a myth too. Lots of Hindus eat beef. Its the so called upper caste Hindus who are vegeterians and have issue with beef.
Forceful integration of the Awadh state into the British Empire was also one of the reasons why the rebellion spread like fire in the area around Uttar Pradesh. The four major centres of the rebellion (Kanpur, Meerut, Jhansi and Lucknow) are all in UP.

@@pranavvaishnave7648 Pakistanis and Indians both had Automatic weapons.
In the 1962 Rezang La Case. Indian Army just were equiped with Lee Enfield bolt action rifles and just one MMG.
Chinese on the other hand had AK-56s. When The "Ahirs" ran out of ammunition they fought with Bayonets, when the blades broke they fought with Bare hands and Rocks.
@@Zom_Bie No, 12 of them survived. Actually they lost too much blood and passed out or they were too injured to fight. The Chinese refused to go foreward after seeing around 1400 of The Chinese being Killed. The Ahirs were the reason why Ladakh is still a part of India.

This episode had some of the most amazing animations, can't wait to see how Simple History videos will look like months from now.
Great video. Please allow me to include the following:
What is not included is accurate information of why Jhansi took part in the rebellion. Rani Laxmibai did not have a male heir for the throne of Jhansi. Under the British Doctrine of Lapse, any kingdom without a male heir by blood would be taken over by company rule. The tradition at that time (also in European monarchy's ironically) was to appoint a male relative to be heir, which was done but found to be invalid per the doctrine of lapse, hence the english fabricated grounds for invasion. This is how many independent kingdoms fell without just reason to English rule. So cruel was the English subjugation of Jhansi, that yes not only was the male population murdered but there is clear reports of a systematic destruction of India's wealth of knowledge. At the time, Jhansi's royal library was renowned in India. The royalty of Jhansi had complied invaluable books and documents during their rule of the area. They employed an innumerable amount of learned scholars at this institution as well. It was truly a university. This structure was destroyed, these scholars murdered and all books and documents were deliberately thrown on the streets of Jhansi and set ablaze. Thus the recorded history (bhakri) of India continued to be destroyed, as seem with prior invasions.
The true history of the horrors seen during first the Islamic subjugation of India, then the British subjugation of India are not taught in India and seldom known.
Cause this is an animation of 13 minutes and the channels name is simple history :/
I learned this from playing Age of Empires III.
In India we need to study this....in our 8th standard..
But don’t take notes from this video. This is practically what the British believe to justify their tyrannic rule. Search about it in books and local articles For all the subcontinental nations.
@@taseenrajshahi809 Tell me, what in the video did they make up to "Justify" the British rule?
@@taseenrajshahi809 the video shows the atrocities both side committed, and was very well balanced. If fact, it seems like the British were more rageful with their actions so i don't know what you're going on about.

O ye all crown supporters!!! Get ur facts right. It wasn't just a mutiny. It was a revolt involving common people too
Isn't this technically just a workplace shooting since the East India Company was a private entity?
5:34- other regiments remained loyal to British but the purbaiyas of UP , bihar who filled or made up majority of Bengal regiment had their home lands and it's social structure and economic system and businesses utterly destroyed by the British. Even today East UP and bihar Haven't recovered from that destruction of British reprisal. Being the most backward in India .. Even Hindu religious institutions and temples were greatly destroyed. People were broken beyond repair - wealth and prosperity destroyed beyond any attempt of recovery.
But very few people talk about this and this is rarely researched.
Please cover more historical geopolitical incidents like this. Growing up in the US, history lessons are so very... tailored, so we don't get to hear about things like this much.

Wow, good to see this discussed on a platform like this. We've been studying and watching movies on this since we were kids.
In the 1850s petroleum had not come into use. All lubricants were based on animal fats (lard) which at that time would normally be from domestic animals ie cattle and pigs. Whale fat when available was too valuable for use as lubricant. So it was correct that both Hindus and Mohammedan sepoys would find putting the cartridge in their mouths extremely offensive. ---Debashis Ray

@Gods Bloody Hammer India is a name given by British. Our country's name is Bharat and was united by Mauryan Empire under Chandragupta Maurya. Your Bangladesh recently got independence from Pakistan in 1971 war supported by Bharat and the USSR .And the uprising was first started in central India not in Bangladesh. Finally, how can someone who follow Arabians can claim to be an indigenous bengali? Benagli culture focus on Shaktism not on some desert jihad .

People in comments talking about how Britain didn't care about foreign cultures:
*ignores uniforms created to catere to non-Christian Faiths*
Yes, that completly makes up for all the theft and murder the bitish caused in their colonies!
@@Resident-of-Pluto At that time the British army was the most diverse military force in the world. It could have been so much worse. Imagine what would have happened if the Spanish ruled the world instead of the British. It would have been like what happened at Hispaniola expect world wide. This is what i dont understand when people trash the British empire. If they didn't do it, Someone else would have. And they would have done it worse. And your also somewhat correct. They did cause theft and murder because other empires killed thousands in order to own what the British empire had created.
PS learn to spell.
@Tejas Misra
Apart from the Spanish. Look up Hispaniola. Because of the Spanish there are no natives of Hispaniola left. Also that latin term you threw in my face to make yourself look intellectual. Originated from a 17th French bishop who used it to insult the country his nation was at war with. Historical Term/Quote mining wont help you here.
@M B Name any civilisation that didn't expand by not conquering another. Just because colonialism is attached to 15th and 19th century European empires. Doesn't mean those methods weren't used by other civilisations. I also can't help bt notice you haven't presented a counter argument, just attacked mine. Pretty pathetic.

"We're going to make concessions and interfere less"
*stations more troops and declares herself empress*
"Why is the bald man not eating?"
Incorrect.
There was far less interference in local customs and rule.
That meant tarrifs between the pre-unified Indian States- which Ghandi the racist & woman beater objected to.
Also more *British* troops were stationed there, but the number of Indian Troops in the Indian Army was reduced, so the total number of troops was actually around the same. After the Sepoy Mutiny the Bengal Army was basically abolished and broken up, most of its regiments disbanded, and their standards burned.
Afterwards Indian Army Brigades were comprised of two Indian Battalions and 1 British battalion. Contrary to popular belief, the Indian troops of the Indian Army were well trained, were taught to read, and though the commanders of the Battalion were white, 25 of the 36 officers in an Indian battalion were actually Indian, only 11 were white, those white officers being the CO, XO, the four Company commanders and a couple of platoon commanders, as well as a couple of the specialist. The supply officer and Doctor were often (though not always) white officers for example. All NCO's were Indian, and, as any good officer knows, the NCO's are the backbone of an army.
The rest of the Officers were Indians, all veterans (men of 20 or more years service), all came up through the ranks. White officers had a harsh 4 year language course with examinations that they *had* to pass before being allowed to take up position as a 2nd Lieutenant in an Indian Battalion. That included 2 years of Hindi, followed by a further two years of learning the language of the men of the Regiment they were to be posted to.
So being a soldier in the Indian Army was actually a good deal for Indians, especially those of lower Castes. They could advance by merit, were given an education, and, if things went well could even become officers.
One can't help but laugh whenever one of these stories involves someone trying to commit suicide to avoid jail time or torture, but then they're sentenced to death.
