The strategic campaign that led to the eventual independence of Indian colonies was the Quit India Movement, launched by the Indian National Congress in 1942. This mass protest aimed to end British rule in India during World War II and called for immediate independence. Spearheaded by leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, the movement galvanized widespread public support and civil disobedience across the country. The British response was repressive, but the movement highlighted the growing desire for self-rule. Although independence was not achieved immediately, the campaign intensified nationalistic feelings and set the stage for India’s eventual freedom in 1947.
