How did the outcome of the Second World War help India's demand for self-government?

The outcome of the Second World War helped India's demand for self-government in the following ways-

1. The World War changed the balance of power in the world. The United States of America and the Soviet Union, emerged from the War as the two big powers. Both supported India's demand for freedom.
2. Even though Britain was on the winning side of the War, its economic and military power was shattered. It would take Britain years to rehabilitate itself.
3. There was a change of government in Britain. The Conservatives were replaced by the Labour Party, many of them supported the Congress demands.
4. The British soldiers were weary of the War. Having fought and shed their blood for six years, they had no desire to spend many more years away from home suppressing the Indian people's struggle for freedom.
