The first liberation war:
After the British Empire had taken control over India and many countries around, rebellion started to spread outwards in the colonies. In1856 in India rebellion started to get serious and Indians faith in the British started to decrease, and a nation wide rebellion started. The rebellion started because they felt like they were suppressed by the British, both is religiously and socially respect. The religious part was that a rumour said that the bullets the soldiers were using were oiled in a combination of pig and cow grease, so they were stepping on to the Hindus and the Muslims believes.

A rebel where about to challenge the army of the East Indian Company. The government of Nepal saw this as an opportunity to get into an alliance with the British and helped them out to defeat the rebellion. The rebellion was defeated after one year, and after this the East Indian Company was dissolved and the British Government and the Parliament in London took direct control over its former areas.

The liberation from the British colony master:
The British Empire was controlling big parts of the world, and the idea that each nation should control itself was getting more and more popular. India was no exception. After World War II the British Empire pulled out of India, what was the reason for this? One of the main reasons was that: during the WWII the allied fought for the freedom for the civilians under the Nazi regime. And when they fought for peoples freedom it would be weird and illogic if they should hold countries occupied themselves. Therefore they gave the colonies the freedom to have its own government and control its resources themselves.
