The Amritsar Massacre in April 1919, where British troops killed hundreds of unarmed Indian civilians, sparked widespread outrage and condemnation across India. Many Indians felt a deep sense of betrayal and anger towards British colonial rule, leading to increased nationalist sentiments. The incident galvanized various political movements, fostering unity among diverse groups in the struggle for independence. Prominent leaders, including Mahatma Gandhi, used the massacre to rally support for nonviolent resistance against British oppression.
The reason relations were strained was because of the Amritsar incident.

It was a genocide. It was a killing of UNARMED ordinary Indians. To throw some <still lve> bodies in the well... its unthinkable. A brit. journalist sent a tegramme to UK...its the end of British colonialism.
In Amritsar, over 5,000 people gathered at Jallianwala Bagh.
