The Americans and British treated their prisoners well. Even Ghandi knew the British would react better to his non-violence than to violence.

After the surrender of the Argentines, they allowed the officers to keep their sidearms and stay in “charge” of their captured troops. Some of the Argentines were brutal against their own conscripts but the British would invite you to tea once you weren’t enemies any more. lol

Yes, Ghandi used “Passive resistance” very effectively against the British.

Passive resistance never worked against the Soviets, Nazi or Chinese or Japanese.
