Answer 2

Answer:

In the First World War ( 1914-1918 ) , India did not participate directly in the war but it participated indirectly. This is because since India was a colony of Britain, and Britain was involved in the First World War, India thus participated in the war. India supplied Britain war - related goods and supplied soldier to fight in the war. Also the effect of the war was felt in India too.
