History
Consequences
In this History topic from “Rebels and the Raj: The Revolt of 1857 and its Representations,” students examine the consequences of the 1857 uprising for British rule in India. They learn how power shifted from the East India Company to the British Crown, how the army and administrative policies were reorganised, and how relations with Indian rulers, landlords and communities changed. The topic also helps students understand the social, political and economic effects of the revolt and the ways its memory and representations shaped later interpretations of colonial history.
