The campaign is set around the 1857 Indian Rebellion against the East India Co., which was 12 years before Gandhi's birth (1869). It ended with the end of British rule through a private corporation, the formal nullification of the vestigial Mughal Empire (the Emperor mentioned in this campaign was the last one) and the formal establishment of a British Indian Empire, with Victoria becoming a Queen Empress, and a Viceroy ruling on her behalf. This rebellion is often called the First War of Indian Independence, because there was an attempt at creating a new nation out of the empire among some of the leaders of the revolt. The revolt was definitely triggered by the mutiny of the East India Co.'s sepoys, because of various grievances, that were often cultural in nature.
