{{Main|Hindu–German Conspiracy}}
The [[Hindu–German Conspiracy]], was a series of plans between 1914 and 1917 by Indian nationalist groups to attempt Pan-Indian rebellion against the [[British Raj]] during World War I, formulated between the [[Indian revolutionary underground]] and exiled or self-exiled nationalists who formed, in the United States, the [[Ghadar Party]], and in Germany, the [[Indian independence committee]], in the decade preceding the [[World War I|Great War]].<ref name="Plowman 84">{{Harvnb|Plowman|2003|p=84}}</ref><ref name=Hoover252>{{Harvnb|Hoover|1985|p=252}}</ref><ref name=GBrown300>{{Harvnb|Brown|1948|p=300}}</ref> The conspiracy was drawn up at the beginning of the war, with extensive support from the [[Auswärtiges Amt|German Foreign Office]], the German consulate in San Francisco, as well as some support from [[Ottoman Turkey]] and the [[Irish republicanism|Irish republican movement]]. The most prominent plan attempted to foment unrest and trigger a Pan-Indian mutiny in the [[British Indian Army]] from [[Punjab Province (British India)|Punjab]] to [[Singapore]]. This plot was planned to be executed in February 1915 with the aim of overthrowing British rule over the [[Indian subcontinent]]. The [[Ghadar Conspiracy|February mutiny]] was ultimately thwarted when British intelligence infiltrated the [[Ghadarite]] movement and arrested key figures. Mutinies in smaller units and garrisons within India were also crushed.

Parts of the conspiracy included efforts to subvert the [[British Indian Army]] in the [[Middle Eastern theatre of World War I]].[[File:1915 Singapore Mutiny.jpg|thumb|250px|right|The public executions of convicted sepoy mutineers of the [[1915 Singapore Mutiny]] at [[Outram Road]], Singapore.]]
