Document Summary
The first wwi transformed british power in the world: had to rethink imperial relationships didn"t have the cache to run. India because of power and wealth: every time some reform happened for indians, british would fight back, gandhi"s nonviolence movement led to british"s departure from india. Bad idea to jail political disobedience: satayagraha: truth force/you don"t help the evildoer, so the best thing to not have passive agreement. The best thing to do is civil disobedience: smuts: south african dutch speaker, trained in law. He would go on to write the un charter. He opens the bridge between gandhi and south. They give indians more rights and gandhi succeeds. Gandhi is a moderate when he returns to india at the age of 46: rowlett attack: suspended the right of free press, assembly, and speech. In response to gandhi"s civil disobedience, and a confrontation occurs. Amritsar is a response to rowlett attack. There were protests and some british bankers were killed.
