Summary -
The
events that took place in the first two decades of the twentieth century
including the outbreak of the First World War had a major impact on Indian
nationalist politics.
The
political vacuum created as a result of the split in the Congress paved the way
for the rise of Home Rule League by Annie Besant.
The Home
Rule Movement of both Tilak and Besant demanded self-governing status for
India.
The War
provided an opportunity for the Congress and the Muslim League to come together
and sign the famous Lucknow Pact, resulting in Hindu–Muslim unity.
During
the War the British passed many repressive acts aimed at curbing any activity
towards India’s freedom from the British rule.
While the
crushing defeat of Turkey and the humiliating peace treaty imposed on it led to
Khilafat Movement, the Russian Revolution paved the way for the rise of Trade
Union Movement in India.
The First
World War indirectly prepared the ground for the launch of new form of protest
under the leadership of Gandhi.
