Explanation:

The first war of Indian Independence was fought in 1857 AD, during the reign of Governor General of Lord Canning.
The immediate cause of the revolt of 1857 was that Mangal Pandey killed two British officers on parade at Barrackpore.
This revolt spread in Lucknow, Ambala and Meerut cantonments. On May 10, 1857 soldiers at Meerut refused to touch the new Enfield rifle cartridges. The soldiers along with other group of civilians, went on rampage.They marched to Delhi, seized the city and proclaimed the Bahadur Shah Zafar, emperor of India. Due to the lack of unity and organisation this revolt failed.
