Answer
World War II
Reason — The Second World War weakened Britain badly. Although Britain was on the winning side, its economic and military power was shattered. The War also changed the balance of power in the world, and Britain could no longer continue its rule in India in the old manner. Hence, World War II forced Britain to consider handing over power to Indians.
