How did the First World War create a new background for the national movement in India?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The war increased public discontent through economic crisis, higher taxes and military recruitment
The governing concept is the social and economic impact of wartime colonial policy. Government expenditure rose sharply, taxes and prices increased, and villages faced pressure to supply soldiers. These burdens affected many households and deepened dissatisfaction with colonial rule, creating conditions in which nationalist mobilisation could reach wider sections of society. Option A is correct. The war did not grant swaraj, abolish peasant taxes or end nationalism, as the other options falsely claim.
