The Indian Mutiny

Also called the Indian Rebellion or the 1857 War of Independence: Indian soldiers in the Bengal army of the East India Company revolt against their British officers, and the rebellion spreads to the civil population. It is crushed, but the East India Company’s power is also destroyed. The British Crown takes over control of India, initiating the period of the Raj (from the Hindu for ‘rule’); this continues until 1947, when India becomes independent and two parts of it are ‘partitioned’ off to create the new state of Pakistan and what is now Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan).
