Only because there was a core f decency in the British. If they were colonized by Nazi Germany, do you think the result would be similar, or would Ghandi have wound up taking a dirt nap?

It should be pointed out that even Ghandi, the man who every appeasnik points to, admitted that when peaceful means fail, force must be used. This is why he eventually gave tactit support to the British war effort against Nazi Germany and Japan.

Even Ghandi admitted that if the colonial rulers of India had been almost anybody but the British (say, Germany or France) he and his non-violent campaign would have been crushed in a pool of blood.
