Answer:

The correct answer is A. The partition of British India in 1947 affected the religious population of South Asia by creating Muslim majorities in what is not Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Explanation:

The partition of India refers to the division of British India into two independent states, Pakistan and India, on August 15th, 1947, in connection with the withdrawal of Britain from their former colony.

The boundaries of the two new countries were set by the United Kingdom, which meant that the new country of Pakistan was given two parts, East and West Pakistan, which were on either side of the "new" India. The division according to the Mountbatten Plan sought to take into account the cultural and religious differences among the people of India.  

Up to the split, considerable tensions between Hindus and Muslims were triggered, and the split led to widespread unrest and large flows of refugees between the new states. It is estimated that up to half a million people died as a result of the unrest and that around 15 million people either moved or fled. The majority of those killed perished in Punjab, where events have been compared to genocide.

The border crossing itself has later led to several wars between India and Pakistan, especially due to Kashmir province, despite a Muslim majority becoming part of India. In 1971, East and West Pakistan were also divided into Bangladesh and present-day Pakistan following a bloody civil war.

Explain the importance of slaves to the English​
saw5 [17]

Answer:

it has high economical effect as The British economy was transformed by the Atlantic slave trade. In 1700, 80 per cent of British trade went to Europe from ports on the east and south coasts.

By 1800, 60 per cent of British trade went to Africa and America, sailing from the three main west coast ports - Glasgow, Liverpool and Bristol.

Ports such as London, Bristol and Liverpool prospered as a direct result of involvement in the slave trade. Other ports, such as Glasgow, profited from the tobacco trade. Thousands of jobs were created in Britain supplying goods and services to slave traders.

In a period that saw Britain industrialize, profits could be made by exporting manufactured British goods to Africa and then further profits accrued from imported slave products such as sugar, which became very fashionable with the British people.

The slave trade was important in the development of the wider economy - financial, commercial, legal and insurance institutions all emerged to support the activities of the slave trade. Some merchants became bankers and many new businesses were financed by profits made from slave-trading.

The slave trade played an important role in providing British industry with access to raw materials. This contributed to the increased production of manufactured goods.
