The Moderate phase of the Indian National Congress lasted from 1885 to which year?

The Moderate phase of the Indian National Congress, which advocated for constitutional reforms and peaceful methods, began with its formation in 1885. This phase is generally considered to have lasted until 1905. The year 1905 is significant due to the Partition of Bengal and the rise of more assertive nationalist leaders, leading to the emergence of the Extremist faction within the Congress.

• 1911: The Partition of Bengal was annulled in this year.
• 1919: The Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms were introduced, and the Jallianwala Bagh massacre occurred.
• 1929: The Lahore Session of Congress declared Purna Swaraj (complete independence) as its goal.

Thus, 1905 marks the end of the predominantly Moderate era.
