Battle of Delhi

The Battle of Delhi, fought in 1857, was a pivotal conflict during the Indian Rebellion against British rule. Indian soldiers, known as sepoys, revolted against the British East India Company's control, leading to a siege of Delhi. The British aimed to reclaim the city, which was a symbol of power. After months of intense fighting, the British forces captured Delhi in September 1857. This battle marked a significant turning point in India’s struggle for independence, highlighting the growing discontent against colonial rule and setting the stage for future movements toward self-governance.
