Answer:

1857

Step-by-step explanation:

The East Indian Company was founded by John Watts on the 31st of December, 1600 with its headquarters in London, United Kingdom.

In 1600, the company acquired a royal charter from the Queen of England (Queen Elizabeth I) and as such had the sole right to trade with the East Indies.

The Revolt of 1857 also referred to as the Indian Rebellion, First War of Independence, Sepoy Mutiny, Indian Insurrection, Great Rebellion, or Indian Mutiny was an unsuccessful uprising against the rules formulated by the East Indian Company. It started on the 10th of May, 1857 as a mutiny of sepoy by the army guiding the company in the garrison town of Meerut.

However, the leaders of the Revolt of 1857 were severely defeated by the British army on the 20th of June, 1858 in Gwalior.
