Question 3 • Online World History B

Why did the Salt March occur?

Answer
A
to protest an unfair British law
B
to find salt, as it was in short supply
C
to increase salt exports to European countries
D
to attempt to shut down the British salt works

Explanation

The Salt March was a campaign of civil disobedience against British rule in India. Gandhi and his followers protested the British law that controlled salt production and sales and imposed a tax on salt. So the march occurred to protest an unfair British law, not because salt was scarce or to increase exports.
