After the first and second world wars, the British became weaker and the United States of America and the Soviet Union emerged as the new global powers. Both the countries were against colonization. At the same time, there started many movements against colonization in many countries of the world.

The Russian revolution of 1917 motivated and united the Indians against British Rule. It also provided them moral strength to struggle. Indians also got motivation from other countries who fought bravely and got their independence. Some countries like Japan, Germany and France helped Indian freedom fighters against British government.

They provided Indian freedom fighters place in their country to keep the fight on. The Indians living in foreign countries for higher education also took the freedom movement in a new direction. After the foundation of United Nations Organization in 1945, the member countries of United Nations Organization protested against British colonization. At last, owing to all these causes, the British were forced to quit India and we got independence on August 15,1947.
