Events Leading to the Quit India Movement:

1. Failure of the Cripps Mission (1942): The British government sent the Cripps Mission to offer limited self-government, which was rejected by Indian leaders as inadequate.
2. Growing Discontent During World War II: India’s forced participation in World War II without consultation fueled public anger.
3. Call for Immediate Independence: The Indian National Congress, led by Mahatma Gandhi, demanded an end to British rule, leading to the launch of the Quit India Movement on August 8, 1942.

Results of the Quit India Movement:

1. Widespread Repression: The British responded with mass arrests, including Gandhi and top leaders, and brutal suppression, with many protesters killed or imprisoned.
2. Leaderless Uprising: Despite the leadership vacuum, protests continued across the country, with strikes, boycotts, and sabotage.
3. Strengthened Nationalism: Though suppressed, the movement united Indians and demonstrated their determination for independence, weakening British authority and leading to discussions that eventually resulted in India’s independence in 1947.
