The war was basically the result of the gaps caused between the Indians and the British. The British had almost the entire subcontinent under their control and with the passing years, unrest was caused among the Indians when at last it became rebellion and the war started. The events that led to unease and rebellion among the Indians were:
The arrival of missionaries about whom the Indians believed that they did not have respect for the ancient Indian faith. A large number of people were unemployed after the annexation of Avadh and this also led to frustration. Poverty greatly increased in the subcontinent as the people were unemployed, only finished goods were sold and the craftsmen didn’t have any work.
At the end of the war, the rule of the subcontinent was transferred to the British crown. The Queen made promises that there would be no discrimination and the appointments would be made on the basis of merit. But in the years that followed, these promises were not kept and as a result there was still the same frustration and hopelessness among the people of the subcontinent.

There are several reasons for the war of Independence in 1857.
There are some political as well as social reasons for the war.the doctrine of lapse was one of the major reasons.when a ruler of a state died and there was no legal heir to take his place the british would take over that state
there are other reasons as well but it'll take to long to explain
