Versailles Conference 1919 Envoy
Following World War I, the Allied nations convened the Versailles Conference in 1919 to negotiate peace treaties. The Indian National Congress, seeking self-governance for India, aimed to present its views on the international stage.
B. G. Tilak, a prominent leader of the Indian independence movement, was chosen by the INC to represent its perspective at the conference. Although he was unable to attend due to travel restrictions and passport issues, the intention was clear: to voice India's aspirations for greater autonomy directly to the world powers.
While other leaders like Annie Besant and C. R. Das were also significant figures in the INC, and S. N. Banerjee was a founding member, the specific mandate for the Versailles Conference was given to Tilak.
