Instead of Anakin, the Jedi Council chose Obi Wan to eliminate Grievous. The Council was beginning to feel that Palpatine was behind the war. To what end, they were not sure. Obi Wan had not been the father figure Anakin needed. Anakin knew he was not the Jedi he was supposed to be. He wanted more. He wanted the power of the dark side. Darth Sidious the alter ego of Palpatine knew Anakin was ready to give in to raw anger. 

Palpatine dismissed Jedi views as narrow. He figured out that Palpatine was the Sith Lord. He found out that he had orchestrated the Clone Wars. He implanted Count Dooku as the figurehead of the Separatist movement. 

At one point, Palpatine faced Jedi Master Windu. They fought while Anakin watched. At one point, Palpatine was about to be killed by Windu. Anakin had to act. Both men pleaded that the other was a traitor. As Windu was about to kill Palpatine, he begged Anakin to save him. Anakin severed Windu's saber hand. Palpatine gave Windu a jolt of dark energy. He plummeted out a window to his death.

Anakin knew his life had changed forever. He made a deal with the dark side.
