Edict of Nantes
It was issued in 1598, by king Henry IV Bourbon of France. It was the second document (after The January Edict of 1561) issued by a French sovereign to provide religious freedom in the country. It was a consequence of the long-lasting religious conflicts in France between Catholics and Huguenots (other name for Calvinists), situated mainly in Southern France. King Henry IV succeeded Henry III Valois and his infamous mother Catherine de Medici. Henry IV was one of the most prominent leaders of the Protestant opposition in France, but had to convert to Catholicism (for the second time in his life) in order to inherit the throne. The Edict of Nantes was one of the first things that he did as a king, and, basically, it allowed for the Protestants across the land to hold on to the cities that they had turned into their strongholds, while Catholics did the same, too. This was a compromise and angered many, Catholics because they could not get rid of the "heresy" among their lands, and Protestants because they could not succeed in reforming France once and for all.

Cell theory was given by Rudolf Virchow and Louis Pasteur, according to which the cells arise from the pre-existing cells. Prior to cell theory, it was believed that life started due to spontaneous generation, that is, the origination of life started from non-living matter.
According to this theory, it was considered that dust creates fleas, maggot originates from the rotten meat, bread, and wheat left in the dark corner give rise to mice. Louis Pasteur was the first scientist to show that cells arise from the pre-existing cells that took hundreds of years to prove that.

Explanation:
During the war, the British declared to give self-government to Indians if they served in the WWI. After the war, Britain proposed as they were not willing to leave India. Gandhiji also supported the involvement of Indian soldiers in the British army. According to him, Britain would repay the courtesy by giving independence to India after the World War I. Instead of giving Independence to India after World War I, they continued colonial regime with tightened restrictions on liberties. Gandhi answered by gathering for strikes and civil disobedience movements.
