What if the Indian Rebellion in 1857 was successful and India regained its independence? How would India develop? Would it centralize into an empire under the Mughals or would the continent brake up into regional powers under the most powerful princely states? Would the Mughals remain Emperors or would a different dynasty be placed on the throne? Would Britain give up or would the British government send more troops to retake the continent? How would the rest of Europe view these events in India? Would they stay out of it or would some of the nations (France) help the Indians to weaken Britain?
