Resource summary
Impact of Churchill
Extreme Imperialist
Very anti-reform, likes the empire as it is
Strong views on race
Sees India as 'Jewel in the crown'
Crown = empire, Jewel= India
Saw India as most important country in the empire
Valued India as he believed that ruling India made the empire look good
Very Patriotic
Conservative
Maverick
Bend the rules
Holds strong opinions
Different and proud of it
When he is appointed, SoSI resigns
SoSI knew his opinions would clash with Churchill's
No point staying in position, will never be able to negotiate with Churchill
1940 Offer
Offers Indians dominion status after war
Rejected by Congress - wanted purna swaraj
Churchill possibly did this on purpose - knew congress would reject it, makes it look like Congress are being awkward whereas Brits are trying to help
Atlantic Charter 1941
Churchill + Roosevelt agree terms which included support for 'sovereign rights and self government'
Interpreted differently
Churchill
Believed it to only apply to newly created countries - not those currently in empire
Roosevelt
Believed it to apply to all countried
Roosevelt consistently pushed Churchill to make concessions to Indian nationalist demands
Roosevelt thought it was needed to make progress, however Churchill saw it as defeat
