The partitioning of the countries that were colonized happened because of two reasons, one being the long term interest of the colonists, and the other one being to avoid conflicts after the granting of independence. The problem was that things were not turning out in practice as they were planned, so immediate conflicts and bloodshed occurred at multiple places. The best example is the partition of India. The country was divided into two countries based on religious preference, hoping to avoid internal conflict. In reality, it was the opposite, everything escalated immediately and the Hindu and Muslim populations started to fight against each other, with millions of people ending up dead or displaced. Even after half a century, it is still very tense, and India and Pakistan are constantly provoking each other and threatening with war.

What happened when Lee Yick appealed his conviction for running an illegal laundry in San Francisco to the U.S. Supreme Court?
Norma-Jean [14]
C. The Supreme Court decided that authorities had unfairly singled him out because of his race. This was because Lee Yick had worked in a laundromat for twenty years and it was illegal at the time that laundromats were to be built in wooden rooms. However, ninety-five percent of laundromats were in wooden complexes and only some of them were Chinese-owned, while others were owned by other races. However, Lee Yick was singled out and the Supreme Court ruled that although the law said it was race-blind, it in fact was judging him based on his race.
