Answer:

The British Parliament divided the Indian sub-continent into two nations in 1947. This was a result of religious tensions between Hindus and Muslims in the territory of India.

Explanation:

In 1947, British India was divided into two States: India and Pakistan. The founder of Pakistan, Mohamed Ali Jinnah, and his party, the Muslim League, had first demanded autonomy for the Muslim majority areas in India, and only subsequently demanded a separate state. Jinnah believed that Hindus and Muslims could not coexist and that they were "different nations."

The partition of British India was extremely violent. After the division of India and Pakistan, there were bloody riots in many western areas, mainly in Punjab. Historians maintain that more than one million people died in the fighting and millions more were forced to leave their homes.

India and Pakistan clashed over Kashmir as early as 1948. This region, with a Muslim majority, was ruled by a Hindu leader. But Jinnah wanted it to be part of Pakistan. Indian troops prevailed in combat and took control of most of the valley, while Pakistan occupied a smaller area. The struggle for Kashmir continues.

What role did the spanish encomienda system and british sugar colonies play in introducing slavery to the southern colonies?
Aliun [14]
The two types of farm owning developed slavery because the owners of them were allowed to have slaves. The encomienda system was based on the idea that conquerors should have slaves to work for them, and it similarly applied to sugar colonies that had slaves on them. They were responsible for a lot of trafficking of slaves from Africa.

How did the world react to state government legislation during the gilded age
BigorU [14]
During the Gilded Age, 1876-1900, Congress was known for being rowdy and inefficient. It was not unusual to find that a quorum could not be achieved because too many members were drunk or otherwise preoccupied with extra-governmental affairs. The halls of Congress were filled with tobacco smoke, and spittoons were everywhere. One disgusted observer noted that not only did the members chew and spit incessantly, but their aim was bad. The atmosphere on the floor was described as an “infernal din.” The Senate, whose seats were often auctioned off to the highest bidder, was known as a “rich man's club,” where political favors were traded like horses, and the needs of the people in the working classes lay beyond the vision of those exalted legislators. The Senate dominated the federal government during the Gilded Age. Causing the world to react as if America wasn't under good control.



In other words, the world reacted as America wasn't mature.
