Within two years of the end of World War II, India gained its independence from Great Britain through a wide variety of factors. The primary factors were two in number, however. First was the decades-long struggle of Gandhi and other Indian leaders to demonstrate to the British the senselessness of trying to control a nation of people that was ready for independence. Second was the toll that the war had taken on Great Britain, which lacked the resources and perhaps even the will to retain imperial control of such a large, independence-minded region as India.
