• Great Britain forced assimilation, required high taxes (salt),
restricted rights, and ruled through violence
• Gandhi worked with the Indians to fight for independence
using methods of peace (boycotts/protests/nonviolent
resistance  satyagraha)
• These peaceful ideas influenced others, like Martin Luther
King Jr., to confront injustice with nonviolent methods.=
