Detailed Solution

The regions involved in the Revolt of 1857 were Barrackpore, Delhi and Jhansi. The Revolt of 1857 was India's first popular uprising against British colonial rule. It is also known as the First War of Independence.

The sepoys rose against the British due to discontentment with the execution of Mangal Pandey.

The sepoys refused to use greased cartridges and rose against the British. They led a march from Meerut to Delhi at midnight on May 9, 1857.

In Delhi, Bahadur Shah Zafar was declared the leader of the revolt. The Sepoys attacked British officials, looted ammunition, and brought Delhi under their control.

The leader of the revolt in Jhansi was Rani Laxmibai. She refused to hand over the city to the British, declining the Doctrine of Lapse.
