Solution 2
The outcome of the Second World War helped India’s demand for self-government in the following ways:
- The war shifted the balance of power in the world. The United States and the Soviet Union became the two major powers, and both supported India’s demand for independence.
- Although Britain was on the winning side, its economic and military power was weakened, and it would take many years for Britain to recover.
- There was a change in government in Britain. The Conservative Party was replaced by the Labour Party, and many of its members supported India’s demands for freedom.
- British soldiers were tired from the war. After fighting for six years, they didn’t want to spend more time in India suppressing the Indian struggle for freedom.
