  1. Historically speaking they did and it did not matter much, there were many other causes and the revolt was by surprise and organised in advance, though disorganised in how it was carried out (some regiments escorted British officers and their families away from danger, some massacred them, some went on an indiscriminate rampage and other just marched off to Deli, on top of this the mutineers were only a component of the rebellion, and many of them stopped being cohesive units and thus lost military relevance, much of the rebel forces were princely forces or armed mobs, and a considerable part of the fighting was not even that as the British wiped out villages which had taken part in crimes against their civilians or in some cases let auxiliary forces like the mountain tribesmen, Sikhs and Gurkha's devastate the countryside at will, the British were highly unsympathetic to humanitarian concerns after their relatives and acquaintances had been killed).
