Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The First World War helped expand the national movement in India. The war occurred in August 1914, when Britain declared war on Germany. As India was a colonial country of Britain, they recruited many soldiers from the country to participate in the battle. The expense of war and increased defence expenditure had led to increased prices. The Government raised the custom rates and taxes to increase the Colonial revenue. Thus ordinary people started to face extreme hardships. In social, political, and economic domains, the nationalists revolted against the Colonial government, which led to the growth of nationalism in India.
The correct statement would be that The First World War helped expand the national movement in India.
