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 do many historians consider to be one consequence of the spread of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire?
Anni [7]
It was another religion. it would make conflicts much like there is today. which I guess you could say did pass on to today. monarchs at the time normally made it a law to all follow the same religion, however, as it grew, these rules dwindled more and more (sometimes). bit when they didn't, there was plenty of hate between groups.
