A blind mind map on:
The Amritsar Massacre
- Led by General Dyer
- In reports to a rally of
protesters, who were
unarmed and were
trapped in a small
square with no escape
- Later taken court for a
trial and sent home from
duty back to Britain
- Hunter comitee
- Punjab holy city
- All of the 'protesters' were Punjab
- Led a small group of
infantry and a vehicle with
a mounted machine gun
- Due to the nature of the
entrance to the square the
people were in the vehicle had
to stay outside
- The infantry were commanded to fire and
were only stopped because they ran out of
bullets
- Said he did it to protect
British rule, due to the
rebellions that had happened
just before this event
- Some began to try and justify
his decisons
- Had supporters and
non-supporters back in Britain
