Answer:

During the First World War, the British army conducted forced recruitment from rural areas in India.

To finance the defence expenditure, high customs duties and income taxes were imposed.

Also, during 1918-19 and 1920-21, crops failed in many parts of India, thereby resulting in acute food shortages. Accompanied by epidemics it accounted for 12 to 13 million deaths. All this caused extensive anger and opposition against the British colonial rule.

People hoped that their hardships would end after the war was over. But this did not happen.

The war had given rise to many social and economic problems. The Montague-Chelmsford Reforms of 1919 could not satisfy the aspirations of the Indians. There arose a general discontent among the Indian masses against the British rule.
