The Civil Disobedience Movement was launched in 1930 by Gandhi to protest British rule in India. It began with Gandhi's famous Dandi March, where he and 78 volunteers walked 385 km over 24 days to produce salt in defiance of British laws. Inspired by Gandhi, other movements broke salt laws across India through nonviolent protests. Gandhi was eventually arrested on May 5, 1930, but the movement continued under new leaders and helped advance India's independence movement.
