Detailed Solution

The given statement is false.
The First World war affected the economic and political situation of India. It resulted in a significant rise in defence spending, which was paid for by war loans and rising taxes. Prices rose throughout the war, doubling between 1913 and 1918, making life extremely difficult for the average person. Forced recruitment of people in rural regions sparked intense resentment. In 1918–19 and 1920–21, crops in many areas of India failed, leading to severe food shortages. There was also an influenza pandemic at the same time.
The correct statement would be, the First World war affected the economic and political situation of India.
