The great Revolt of 1857 took place only during Lord Canning's rule as Governor-General. The Revolt of 1857 of 1857 started from Meerut on May 10, 1857, which gradually spread to places like Kanpur, Bareilly, Jhansi, Delhi, Awadh etc. This revolution started as a military revolt, but later changed its form to a mass revolt against British power, which was called India's First war of Independence.
