Solution
The revolt lasted only for 6 days, but was enough to shake the British
Empire. It was largest revolt by any of the imperial naval units. In all,
74 Ships, 20 fleets and 22 units of RIN went on strike. The Navy was heart
of Briton’s success. It was the centre of their pride, the reason for their
rise as traders and then rulers around the world. The same ships and
boats had now become a threat.
The World War had hurt the British empire and they were running out of
funds. After INA’s heroics and Naval strike, British rulers knew, their armed
forces were becoming less and less trustworthy.
