Answer:

The siege.

Explanation:

General Grant´s campaign to capture Mississippi began in June and, after capturing its capital and pushing Confederate´s army of general Pemberton to Vicksburg.

The town was heavily defended and was placed on a cliff. The Union army wanted to capture it because of its control over a strategic river. Grant´s army outnumbered two to one to Pemberton´s one but it was very well defended sustaining two attempts of attack by the Union. After those two failed attempts Grant decided to siege the town until the armies inside get out of food.

After 40 days of the siege, Pemberton finally surrendered.

How similar are Sources C and D? Explain your answer.
damaskus [11]

Answer:

Both sources present the dangers that would occur if Singapore became an independent state.

Explanation:

The two sources present the danger that Malaysia would be in if Singapore became an independent and communist state. This concern began with preparations for Singapore to separate from the British Empire and merge with Malaysia. The problem was that communist ideologies were very influential in Singapore, but were prevented from being established because of the presence of the British Empire. However, once singapore became an independent state, communist ideologies could dominate and cause Singapore to try to dominate malaysia and not merge.

In this case, we can confirm that the similarity of these two sources is the subject that they address, which is the same.

Describe the events that preceded and led to the partition of India. What were the effects of partition on India and Pakistan?
natita [175]

The events that led to the division of British India into India and Pakistan was a method the British had to secure how independence would take place. The British government had a system of political control of “divide and rule” and because of that, this strategy was perfect.

Muslims were 25% of British India’s population, therefore a religious minority. They were afraid of losing protection as the independence of India got closer.

With the approach of WWII, things got even worse, since the British took India into the war without consultation of the population or the legislative, this caused even more pressure for independence and the creation of a separate state.

The separation between India and Pakistan caused riots, mass casualties, a wave of migration - Muslims headed towards Pakistan and Hindus and Sikhs headed into India -, and a death toll of 2 million people.
