Why was there a need for it at the time?
Where did Einstein's inspiration come from?

There was a need to reformulate the theory of gravity after the developement of the special theory of relativity. Now most people probably would have tried to explain gravity within the context of the special theory of relativity, but not our good buddy Einstein. He was inspired to create general relativity by considering the relativity of acceleration. (the special theory deals with the relativity of velocity)

“1 hair in my soup is too much, 1 hair on my head is too little” – exclaimed Einstein once in a restaurant and concluded: “all is relative!”. To be earnest – just curious human brain, and not Nobel prize!
