Ghandi's Impact


In the 1930's, Ghandi definitely had the biggest impact on the world. His effects were felt incredibly at his greatest hights of peaceful power, but is also still felt today. One of his biggest triumphs, for example, is incredibly convincing Great Britain to release India to home rule. His peaceful impact was felt strongly in England, the US, and may other countries alike. Ghandi's introduction of peaceful resistance to get what you want, has been one that has influenced many throughout the world. His quote "any country would rather be governed by their own bad governmens than by the good government of an alien country" has even effected me on a personal level, in my views of the war in Iraq, and in movements within the U.S.. Ghandi was definitely extremely influential to the government, and the people in the early 1900's.
