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.

Often the land and territory disputes were between rival tribes in an certain area or region. Things like food collection and raising children were whole tribe activities, not solely up to the parents. Life was more communal.

Answer:

The majority of them were wiped away by diseases that were transmitted by the Europeans.

Explanation:

Many years before the Europeans came to North America, the Native Indians lived peacefully among themselves but when the Europeans arrived on their shores and started business transactions with them in the 1400s, they brought along diseases that the Native Indians had no immunity to. These diseases included measles, smallpox, cholera, typhus, etc.

These diseases wiped off the Native Indians in their numbers but the Europeans had acquired resistance to these diseases making them have little symptoms or completely asymptomatic to these diseases.
