<span>The answer is mobility. Trench warfare was popular at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, Trenches, essentially large ditches men dug, and then took up defensive positions in, were very good at giving soldiers a place to hide from incoming automatic weapons fire and mortar strikes. This however gave birth to "trench warfare", a style of combat relying on melee combat, short range weapons like shotguns, and worst of all, penetrating attacks the trenches couldn't protect from, such as shrapnel heavy grenades, flamethrowers, or even chemical weapon attacks.

Answer:

3) the Muslim -Hindu riots and violence

Explanation:

India was partitioned into two nations, India and Pakistan (West and East), based on the dominant religion. The reason for the partition was to avoid conflicts between the two groups, but they occurred nonetheless immediately after the independence. Both the Hindus and the Muslims were not pleased, so they started to riot and attack each other, with the end result being a refugee crisis. Millions of people were dislocated, lost their homes and families, or lost their lives.
