why did the jallianwal massacre take place???? can anybuddy help??

In 1917-1918, the indians were revolting against the british. After the Rowlatt Act, Mr.Gandhi started a protest. the strikes made the british ban anti-govt publications. on april 10, Thousands of these people, many unaware of Dyer's recent ban on public assemblies, convened at Jallianwala Bagh, where a nationalist demonstration was being held. Dyer's troops surrounded the park and without warning opened fire on the crowd, killing several hundred and wounding more than a thousand. Dyer, who in a subsequent investigation admitted to ordering the attack for its "moral effect" on the people of the region, had his troops continue the murderous barrage until all their artillery was exhausted. British authorities later removed him from his post.
The massacre stirred nationalist feelings across India and had a profound effect on one of the movement's leaders, MR.Gandhi. During WW1, he had actively supported the British in the hope of winning partial autonomy for India, but after the Amritsar Massacre he became convinced that India should accept nothing less than full independence. To achieve this end, Gandhi began organizing his first campaign of mass civil disobedience against Britain's oppressive rule.

hope this helps you! if it did. like it! :D

Inspite of promises the British dismantled the ottoman caliphate of turkey why??

the british had just promised that to get the support of the indians. After they won it, they broke their promise to get revenge from turkey.. in the treaty of versailles, Germany and Austria were punished and the british prime minister Lloyg George felt
that turkey should be treated the same.
