The outcomes of WWI led to the weakening of direct imperial influence in the Indian Independence Movement in two ways: (1) India's population grew stronger and more motivated to gain independence, and (2) Britain's imperialist hold significantly weakened. After the war, human anguish in India intensified.
Most movements started before WWI; WWI gave them a needed push
•African and Asian soldiers fighting Europeans in Europe
•Colonies supplied troops and raw materials
•Devastation of the war crushed the myth of the European being a superior being
