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.

Six electrons or three pairs.

Six electrons are shared by both atoms of nitrogen molecules because both needs three electron to become stable. They formed covalent bond by sharing of electrons with each other and attain stability. Ionic bond can't formed between two nitrogen atoms because very high amount of energy is required to remove and add electrons in the valence shell.

Basically, before the U.S. entered World War 1, they made Germany promise not to sink merchant and civilian ships. They had to search the ship first and only sink it if there was contraband found aboard the vessel, after allowing the crew and passengers to have safe passage somehow. Previous to that, Germany had been sinking ships left and right, with no prior information that they were military or civilian ships.

Nataly_w [17]

Answer: What someone else is willing to pay for it.

There's an argument that it doesn't even matter if that someone else is able to pay for it; knowledge of a competing bid influences security price because it provides a simple point from which to determine not-enough or too-much.
