It then erupted into other mutinies and civilian rebellions chiefly in theupper Gangetic plainandcentral India,though incidents of revolt also occurred farther north and east.The rebellion posed a considerable threat to British power in that region,and was contained only with the rebels' defeat inGwalioron 20 June 1858. |
