Detailed explanation-1: -Even so, the rebellion proved to be an important watershed in Indian and British Empire history. It led to the dissolution of the East India Company, and forced the British to reorganize the army, the financial system, and the administration in India, through passage of the Government of India Act 1858.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Sepoy Rebellion started on May 10, 1857, and officially ended on July 8, 1859. It was a short-lived though major uprising; however, it ultimately failed as the British East India Company took control again afterward.
