1. Tensions were running high throughout India, but a major focal point was Amritsar, a city in northern India. Describe what happened on April 13, 1919 (be sure to include who was involved, what he/they did, and the aftermath).

General Dyer outlawed all indian gatherings in public. He learned of a meeting in the heart of town and dispatched 50 indian troops to attend. He was afraid to urge them to leave, so he opened fire on the innocent individuals who were simply trying to protest or enjoy a wonderful holiday. This served as a powerful rallying cry for the Indians to get together and defeat the British.
 

2.How was India involved in WWI? Additionally, talk about what Indians wanted following the war and how Britain responded.

They were heavily active in the war, some by necessity with the sepoys and some voluntarily. They wanted to become a British protectorate, and Dritan replied they'd think about it. However, he never gave them what they were promised.

3.After Amritsar, what became the new goal of the Indian National Congress party, and why did this group originally fail in its mission?

Their new goal was to gain complete independence from Britain and cut all links with it. The average people of India considered their congress leaders as British Indians and assumed that if they gained independence, they would simply continue to do what the British had done.

4. In 1914, Mohandas Gandhi became the leader of the Congress party. Discuss FOUR of Gandhi's ideas/beliefs/techniques that he embraced and used.

-He believed in civil disobedience and believed that if laws were unjust, he should break them, but in a peaceful manner.
- He also encouraged the British staff to seek independence.
- He also wanted to encourage others to buy their traditional handcrafted clothing as a way to demonstrate their heritage.
-He planned speeches and marches to rally support for his cause, and he believed in the power of love to transform people into better people.

5. Describe the situation/process of how Gandhi decided to take a stand against the British salt monopoly. What were TWO end results?

He wanted to stage a symbolic protest because he believes that manufacturing salt should be a basic human right. He arranged a 240-mile march in this manner. It began with 78 followers, and while he only walked 10 miles every day, word traveled quickly, and by the end, tens of thousands of people had gathered. The majority of those who attended the rally, including Gandhi, were detained. This spurred indian revolts since the British were humiliated, and he also inspired the Americans to fight for their independence.
