During World War I, approximately 306 British soldiers were executed by the British military, primarily for desertion and cowardice. These executions were carried out under military law, and many of the soldiers were suffering from the psychological effects of war. In later years, there has been increasing recognition of the injustices faced by these soldiers, leading to calls for posthumous pardons and memorials.

The British responded to the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857 with brutal repression. They executed many Sepoys (Indian soldiers) and civilians suspected of participating in the uprising, often through public hangings. The British also implemented widespread military and administrative changes in India, leading to the dissolution of the East India Company and direct British governance over India. This brutal crackdown solidified British control but also fueled Indian nationalism and resentment against colonial rule.
