Answer 1

Hint: The first war of Independence most commonly was known as Indian Rebellion. It began on May 10 in the year 1857. This war was a result of many accumulated factors. The impact of the revolution led to several changes.

Complete answer:
In the history of colonial British India, the revolution of 1857 marked a significant turning point. It was a significant, but ultimately unsuccessful, revolt in India against the rule of the British East India Company, which acted on behalf of the British Crown as a sovereign power. It was the most remarkable event in the history of colonial British India.

It was the presence of people from almost all parts of society and the Hindu-Muslim solidarity against a 'third' enemy that added to its significance. It also marked a new period of the independence movement that lasted for the next 90 years.

The summer of 1857 saw violence and cruelty on an unparalleled scale, committed by both the Indians and the British. Never before has there been violence at such a ghastly stage in the history of British rule in India. The rebellion of 1857 occurred as the result of a series of factors over time, rather than any single event.

The atrocities committed by both sides in the 1857 widened the gulf between the rulers and the ruled considerably. After the uprising, the measures they took left them seriously alienated and separated from the Indian people.

Therefore the answer is C.

Note:
Although the 1857 First War of Independence rebellion was suppressed, it shocked the very core of British rule in India. It has had a far-reaching impact on socio-political life in India. As the first anti-imperialist and anti-colonial fight, this war was marked.
