    Default The Pattern 1853 Enfield cartridge and the Historiography of the “Greased cartridge"

    Of all the English colonial wars fought during the reign
    of Queen Victoria, none arrested the attention of the home
    population like the Indian Mutiny of 1857. Tales of atrocities,
    daring escapes, valor on the battlefield and the retributions that
    followed shocked and fascinated the British public. Thousands
    of books on the rebellion have been published, from the first
    year of the conflict until very recently. While the causes behind
    the rebellion are complex and open to interpretation, most
    historians agree that the “greased cartridge affair” triggered
    the uprising of sepoys in the service of the East India Company
    in May of 18571.


    Full article . An absolute great read.
