Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

All four events influenced the course of the Indian national movement before Gandhi. The Abyssinian (Ethiopian) victory over Italy (1896) and Japan’s defeat of Russia (1905) shattered the myth of European invincibility and bolstered Indian self‑confidence [2]. The Boxer movement in China provided an example of popular anti‑imperial resistance within Asia that Indian nationalists noticed [1]. The revolutionary/nationalist movement in Ireland similarly served as a model of organised political struggle and sacrifice cited by Indian leaders and historians as an international stimulus. Collectively these episodes contributed to the growth of militant and assertive nationalism in India prior to Gandhi’s return [1].
