	Indian rebellion of 1857 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		1857–1858 was a period of armed uprising and rebellions in mostly northern and central India against British occupation of the subcontinent.
		In fact, one lesson learned by the British after 1857 was to not enact reforms, but to instead further strengthen social divides in order to maintain their supremacy; and also to appease the gentry, who had been major instigators in the 1857 revolt.
		In September and October 1857, the Rani led the successful defence of Jhansi from the invading armies of the neighbouring rajas of Datia and Orchha.
