Which historical incident led Mahatma Gandhi to call off the nationwide Rowlatt Satyagraha ?
Jallianwala Bagh Massacre
The Rowlatt Satyagraha was launched by Gandhi in early April 1919 against the Rowlatt Act, which allowed detention without trial.
On 13 April 1919, General Dyer's troops fired on an unarmed crowd at Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar, and violence spread in Punjab and elsewhere.
Disturbed by this violence, Gandhi called off the satyagraha on 18 April 1919. Chauri-Chaura (1922) ended the Non-Cooperation Movement, and the Kakori action took place in 1925.
Hence, Jallianwala Bagh Massacre.
