Who led the revolt of 1857 and what was their basic weakness?

Answer»

The Revolt of 1857 was mainly STARTED led by the Sepoys. That is why the revolt was commonly known as the Sepoy Mutiny.At Barrackpore, Sepoy Mangal Pandey rebelled against the commanders and this military rebellion combined with the CIVILIAN unrest caused the Doctrine of Lapse initiated by Dalhousie had led to upheaval on the Indian subcontinent.

The basic weakness was shortage of modern WEAPONS and other materials of war.The organisation was poor and lacked unity of command and discipline.The British army was more stronger and well equiped.The idea of fighting and dying for a nation was still in its infancy and the REBELS still fought on in the name of sometimes RELIGION and mostly for defending their local towns and positions.

the main weakness of this was, it did not had a common leader
