Britain didn't give it up out of the random whims of its government. India functionally became ungovernable. This isn't anywhere near the same thing.

Oh, there's an idea. So it can't really be said to be "willfully given up" on a "random whim" if a military force is preventing you from exerting control over a given region.

In that case, I do have just a couple of notes for OP.
