The military begining of the end of the 1857 revolution could be said to have started either today or tomorrow in that year. With reinforcement from Punjab's native sepoys, British forces started to storm Delhi, which was until now controlled by "purabia-s" and "tilanga-s" for the last four months. Delhi would finally fall to British hands on September 14 1857, followed by an organized massacre, looting and arson.
Lucknow reinforcement will then begin but Awadh will not fall until November 1857. Larger parts of UP and Bihar will remain liberated from British control even after that and the revolution was not completely over for eighteen more months, until the very mid of 1859.
