Question

How the First World War helped in the growth of the National Movement in India.


​

Answer 1

Answer:

The First World War helped in the growth of the National Movement in India in the following ways:

• During the First World War, the British army forcibly recruited people from the rural areas of India.  

• To finance the defence expenditure, custom duties were raised and income taxes were imposed.

• During 1918-19 and 1920-21, crops failed in many parts of India which resulted in acute food shortages. All this caused extensive anger and opposition against the British colonial rule, and the national movement of India headed towards a stronger and more definitive direction.
