The 1920’s saw the regrouping and consolidation of Congress and after the First World War the party became associated with Mahatma Gandhi. By the end of the 1920’s the British government were desperately striving to keep the empire and the British Raj intact while at the same time conciliation Indian opinion.

The American Revolution is one of the most important and talked about events in American history. Sometimes, all people really know is that there was a war in which the new Americans fought against the British in order to gain independence, and the fact that the Americans won. Some details, however, are left out, such as feelings of those involved with the struggle and how the British government viewed the conflict.

At the time the President of US was Woodrow Wilson who wanted to stay Neutral.
to declare war in the summer of 1917 was America's aspirations to become a world power.
