In the summer of 1945 the Second World War was coming to an end, with the surrender of Japanese the subcontinent was no longer under threat of invasion. The Viceroy Lord Wavell held talks at Simla in a last attempt to bring the congress and Muslim League together. The Simla Conference, as it known, failed however. Only after two weeks later Churchill’s government was voted out of power in Britain and a Labour(Socialist) government came in. The Labour Party had for along time thought that the British rule in India had become more trouble than it was worth. In addition, the British needed to concentrate on rebuilding their country, which had been seriously weakened by the war.
