Answer:
The "Petit Blancs" was a French name given to the poor white citizens of Haiti that didn't own much or any land. These poor white folk were looked down on by the rich white plantation owners while also disliked by the black slaves. La Petit Blancs can be pretty compared to the peasants in France before the revolution although the black slaves did most of the manual labor in Haiti compared to the poor whites. When the slave rebellion lead by Louverture, Toussaint occurred, most of the petit blancs did not have the money to flee Haiti like the rich and were forced to live in a tense situation with the now self governing freed slaves. Pockets of petit blanc territory remained throughout the island though violence broke out between them and the Gens de couleur libres at times. This revolution is yet another example of the lesser class majority winning over the rich as well as one of the first examples of black independence and freedom.
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.
