The cause of the Rebellion was mainly the East India Company, which was basically a faction of Great Britain in India. They forced farmers to grow cash crops instead of food, which, as a result, starved India and gave Britain money. The effects were that the East India Company was disbanded, replaced by direct British Rules!
