Siege of Delhi

The Siege of Delhi refers to military conflicts during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, when Indian soldiers and civilians revolted against British rule. British forces and loyal Indian allies surrounded and attacked Delhi, which was a symbol of Mughal authority. The siege aimed to suppress the uprising, restore control, and secure British dominance in India. After intense fighting, the British recaptured Delhi in 1857, ending the rebellion’s main phase. This event marked a significant turning point, leading to the full establishment of direct British rule in India until independence.
