Right then. There is no easy answer to this question, but I have dug out some places to look at.

The very useful History Learning Site has this page which goes into quite a lot of detail. You will probably need to scroll down to the bottom to look at events from where it says World War Two.

However, if you go to the Learning Curve website at the National Archives you will find a whole study section on ‘The End of British Rule in India’. This uses original documents to answer the question you think you have been set here.

Have a look at these - it will mean some hard work - and then come back to us if you don't understand.
