Rh Africa had to give in, and the unfair laws were abolished. Gandhiji's movement came to a victorious end. He had shown and proved to the world how it was possible to win without using force.

Gandhiji's work in South Africa had been successful so he told the people there to carry on, and he decided to return home. He first went to London, and while he was there a great war broke out. This war, which was later called World War I, was cruel and bloody, and many people on both side were wounded and killed.

Gandhiji asked all Indians to help on the side of the British. He himself helped to nurse the wounded. For the brave work he did, the British Government gave him a medal. After a few months in England, Gandhiji returned to India.
