Winds of Change

• S1.E7 - The War to End All Wars

  The British Empire goes to war, and India is taken along with it. Hundreds of thousands of Indians are part of the war effort all over the world, and Indian nationalists and British liberals hope this display of loyalty will be rewarded. Indian revolutionaries are not prepared to wait for freedom to come to India, and plot a 2nd Indian Mutiny. The Imperial War Cabinet and the Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms offer some concessions, but the Rowlatt Commission is hard at work.

• S1.E4 - Two Empires in One Grave

  British retaliation for the massacres and mutinies of 1857 is immediate and brutal. Mass executions of Indian prisoners and civilians follow the armies of reconquest, with only minimal interest in whether any of them were guilty. The leaders of the rebellion - Nana Sahib, the Rani of Jhansi, Tatya Tope, and the last Mughal, Bahadur Shah - are defeated, driven into exile, or killed in battle. But the East India Company does not survive either. The government of Queen Victoria dissolves its Indian Empire, and takes it under direct royal control as a crown colony - the British Raj.
