[QUOTE="Darkwolf, post: 13792, member: 177"] [b]New Mad Cow scare in US announced today[/b] IMHO, Ghandi caused nothing to happen that wasn't happening anyway. The British empire was already collapsing under it's own weight. The Brits coulen't afford to keep the pressure on the Indians, and didn't have the will to be brutal enough to do what they needed to to keep their empire. If he had pulled what he did fifty years earlier, it woulden't have worked. Also, he was backed up by threat of force. There were Indians arming for the inevitable day when passive resistance failed. I think that the Brits left beacause of the cost that that war would exact on them rather than anything that Ghandi did. Perhaps a better way of putting it is to say that he showed the British his people's will, and they backed off beacause they knew what would happen if that will to passively resist would do when turned into a will to violence. As I said it was their potential military power that gave them a stronger negotiating position. We would be as foolish to give up that final option as we would be to get violent right off the bat.
