fact, Self Determination was hugely popular after
the war throughout Europe.
Self-determination - Free to live as one chooses
without permission from others.
13

  needed by the English Empire.
• There, they learned about the basic rights
  given to every Englishman.
• When they returned to India, they saw that
  these same rights were not given to Indians.

A Matter of Forced Economic Dependence

  British to avoid competition
• Indian purchased all manufactured goods from
  England

  purchase things they didn't need to ship from
  England, like salt, which could be found for free
  all over India

  advantage of Indians
• Any perceived resistance to British rule is
  brutally suppressed

The Rowlatt Acts- Laws stripping Indians of basic
human rights (after service given during
WWI)? arrest and search people and property
without warrant, detain suspects without trial,
and try people before special courts where there
were no juries and no rights of appeal The
Amritsar Massacre Slaughter of Indian men, women
and children peacefully demonstrating against
unjust laws.
16
Amritsar Massacre, 1919
379 dead over 1200 wounded!
What do you think the Public Opinion of this
event was? How would that help Indians toward
independence more than a riot or uprising?

Roadblocks to Independence

• India made masses of money for the British.
  The Jewel in the Crown was accurate. The
  British had no desire to let so much money go.
• England had carefully ensured that they were
  militarily superior to the native Indians. Any
  violent uprising would end the same way the Sepoy
  Rebellion did.
• Indians were divided by a long history of
  intolerance based on religion and ethnicity.
  Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims did not trust each
  other.

18
How will the Indians overcome these many serious
problems?
19
Mohandas Gandhi finds the answer...
20
Gandhi Educated in England he knows about
British law and British rights. Strongly
believes that violence is not the answer.
Indians will lose if they kill.Develops a
peaceful method to use public opinion against
wrong doers (British)Practices this method in
South Africa.

21
Gandhi and Satyagraha
Civil Disobedience Do not follow unjust
laws. Boycotts Refuse to purchase British
manufactured goods Strikes Refuse to go to
work for British companies (like the railroad or
civil service)? Non- Violence No matter what,
do not react to anything with violence. Those
who fight with their fists can always be called
criminals. Those who refuse to raise their hand
against their enemy can only be seen as victims.
Public opinion will side with the victims.

Sikh) against the British and hurt the British
economy. They also turned international opinion
against the British.By the end of WWII, England
doesn't have the money to maintain their control
of India, and Finally, Indians are granted their
Independence.
