Why did George Orwell write the novel 1984?

George Orwell wrote 1984 as a warning. Orwell had experienced firsthand many political takeovers which encouraged his hatred of the authority. He was born in Motihari, Bengal, India, later he became an imperial police officer while being an officer, he noticed a lot more about the government and didn’t like what he was noticing so he began to feel guilty for being in the police force. He then ended up leaving and moving to England and quitting his job as an officer. Orwell decides to live as a lower-class citizen. While living lower-class Orwell starts witting books, novels, short stories, etc. his writing was heavily influenced by his experiences of what the imperial government was like. He goes to write about the civil war in Spain to later be involved in it, he then flees Spain leaving the war in fear of being killed. With now being involved in the civil war he now realizes that he doesn’t like communism either because both styles of government are quite controlling. Orwell spends the rest of his life writing and warning people about totalitarian governments.
