INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENT – PART 1 : THE START OF THE BATTLES

Description

In the past, the island of Sri Lanka attracted the interest of foreign countries due to its valuable crops, gems and ivory. As a result, from 1505 to 1948 AD, three European countries invaded Sri Lanka.

The British Empire was successful in seizing control of the island in 1815 AD. Thereafter, Sri Lanka was ruled by the British for 133 years.
This book is about the British influence in Sri Lanka and the hardships the natives faced, which led to a freedom movement.
