India had long been a wealthy part in the British empire. It produced for Great Britain tea, gems and other products making it a valuable colony. After WW2, there was a movement for independence. Under Gandhi's leadership, non-violent strikes and demonstrations led Great Britain to give India its independence. They divided India into Pakistan and India.

1 How did nationalism lead to independence in India and Vietnam?

Who said "Nationalism lead to independence in India and Vietnam?" India and Vietnam have nothing to do with each other. India was a crown colony of the UK until the end of WWII. British India was never conquered by Japan; although the British/allies did stop the Japanese army at Imphal in 1944 which was as deep as the Japanese army got into India during the war. After WWII, the British simply granted independence to India (no longer a crown colony). Vietnam was taken from France by Japan (no matter how politically correct historians want to word the conquest, it was taken) during WWII. When WWII ended in 1945 Japan relinquished her conquests, and Vietnam was one of them. When France attempted a return to Vietnam, the nationals (Vietnamese) resisted (called the 1st Indo China War or French Indo China War). That war went on from 1946 until 1954.
