- Uprisings spread throughout British India. It was estimated that less thank 8 thousand of nearly 140 thousand sepoys remained loyal to the British. The conflicts of 1957 and 1858 were brutal and bloody, any lurid reports of massacres and atrocities circulated in newspapers and illustrated in magazines in Britain. The British dispatched more troops to India and eventually succeeded in putting down the munity resorting to merciless tactics to restore order.
