After the First and Second World War, the United Sates of America and Soviet Union emerged as superpowers. This made the position of the British weaker. Both the powers opposed the policy of colonization. The revolutions in other countries of the world were being conducted against colonization. France, Japan and Germany provided place to the Indian freedom fighters to conduct the movement against British governance from their countries.

The newly-founded United Nations Organization also opposed the policy of colonization. The British government did not follow the Atlantic Charter agreement in the beginning with America. The U.S.A. pressed Britain to make India free. Australian parliament also advocated the right of self governance to India.

Germany, Russia, Japan, China, etc. supported Indian independence movement. In the general election held in 1945, Ruling party of Britain lost. Clement Attlee of Labour party became the Prime Minister of England. Attlee was a supporter and wellwisher of India. Moreover, he had promised to make India free in his manifesto. This paved the way for Indian independence.
