1 answer:

6 0

Answer: The reasons as to why the Americans would want to control Hawaii is because Hawaii had a lot of tropical products like sugarcane and pineapples that weren’t available anywhere else in the country. Since there were exclusive products, that meant a lot of people wanted the things and led to a booming economy. A booming economy meant a lot of money. People who wanted to make it big would come to Hawaii and sell things and become rich. It also had Pearl Harbor which, if America could get its hands on, could prove to be really useful for their growing navy. They could also expand it to a military base. The US also wanted to expand their power and land.

Name the two groups into which the Congress was divided after the withdrawal of the Non-Cooperation Movement. State the differen

Serhud [2]

The Non-cooperation movement (1920-1922) started after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, by the Congress under Gandhi's guidance. The purpose of this movement was to protest in opposition to the repressive policies of the British and to achieve self-government. The Non-cooperation movement was successful and was only in its final phases when the Chauri Chaura episode happened, where 22 policemen were killed after peasants attacked and burnt the police station. This event disgusted Gandhi as he was against violence with no exceptions.

The two groups into which the Congress divided after the Non-cooperation movement were the pro-changers and the no-changers.

The pro-changers group wanted to terminate the prohibition of elections to Legislative Councils. They felt that the conformation of the system was only possible by competing elections and gaining access to the legislature. It had leaders like Motial Nehru, Vithalbhai Patel and C R Das.

The no-changers group initiated a new party with the same Swaraj Party, in order to work as a group inside the Congress. They entered the legislature through elections and made it inconvenient and hard for the British to get their policies passed. Its leaders were Rajendra Prasad, C Rajagopalachari, and Vallabhbhai Patel.
