Explanation

Lord Wavell, the Viceroy of India from 1943-1947, convened the Simla Conference in June 1945 to discuss constitutional proposals for self-government in India. The conference failed primarily due to disagreement between Congress and the Muslim League over representation. Mountbatten was the last Viceroy (1947), while Wellington was an earlier Viceroy (1931-1936).
