Yup, a fascinating part of Indian history. And ill informed Facebook types wouldn’t know it in any case— jerking knees when one mentions ANY firearms, apparently.
As the nazis began to expand into Asia (and the japs from the other way in WWII) there was a great deal of political “adjustment” which undoubtedly led to partition. The adjustment was dealing with the muslim indians (of the old raj) who were aligning with and helping the nazis (islam without boundaries)... as indeed they later aligned with other socialists (the soviets in later internal indian politics) vs... the hindus who were aligned with brits more often (with the exception of certain muslim raj potentates).
It is true the brits left india w/out a military due to WWI demands. All in the Great Game, even as the brits (the King particularly) did nothing to stop the russian revolution (financed by Bank of England and others)against his own cousin the Tsar. Such are the influences in history. Tragic and needless waste of human potential. And why the US had an armed populace.
Keep in mind that the first Russian Revolution removed the Czar and installed the Socialist Kerensky, who continued WWI as a British Ally. The second removed Kerensky and installed Lenin and Trotsky, as an ally of Imperial Germany.
After Imperial Germany was defeated (by US intervention, with US soldiers trained by the remnants of French Chausseur units) after Britain and France had fought for three years, the Russian Civil War started, with the 4 US regiments put in place to guard military stores at Murmansk and Vladivostok participating to a very limited extent. The Czech Legion was eventually given passage home, and the White Russians either died, got away, or settled in Brest Litvosk territories such as Belarus, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Latvia, or Ukraine. Some White Russians joined the Polish armed forces, and fought against Soviet Russia in the Polish-Soviet war.
So which revolution do you assert that the Bank of England funded? Especially considering that the Bank of England was pretty much bankrupt from funding WWI?
Correction: HAS an armed populace.
