India gains Home Rule

After a tense meeting between the German ambassador and the British foreign minister, the government of Britain today announced that India will be allowed to determine its own policies from now on. The centuries of British rule over the subcontinent have come to a surprisingly quick end as civil servants are ordered home and colonial administration is turned over to native Indians. One of the first actions of the new Indian leadership was to announce a wide-ranging cooperation treaty with Germany. The Indian government refused to comment on allegations that this was the price they paid for German support.
