Which of these conflicts caused india to be divided into two independent countries?
zalisa [80]

Hindus and Muslims in the colony of India could not resolve their religious differences. The religious conflicts between Hindus and Muslims has been a historic tension. In the early 700s, this struggle between them has raged since Islam spread into the Indian Peninsula. This tension was a major factor in the partition of the British colony of India (India and Pakistan) in the 20th century. While Hindu Indians dominated the central and eastern part of the Indian subcontinent, Muslim Indians dominated the western part of the region (Pakistan).

A democratic thinking grew among the poor and lower classes and many Indians began demanding complete independence from British rule. Gandhi's passive resistance, helped inspire a mass movement, which finally convinced the British.

<em>Hindu-Muslim conflict in India has been going on for centuries.</em>

Answer:

Wars cost too much.

That’s really not a surprise. The surprise is how much more they cost than we’ve been told.

It might help to think of the nation’s post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq like a pair of icebergs. The Pentagon tells us how much we’ve each paid for the wars. But that only tells us how much of those icebergs we can see above the waves. While it includes totals for war fighting, it doesn’t track the Pentagon’s bigger war budget, interest paid on money we’ve borrowed to fight the wars, veterans’ care, and other ancillary costs. There’s a whole lot more hidden beneath the waves. The real issue isn’t whether the cost of war is high; the issue is why the U.S. government keeps under-estimating it, and why U.S. citizens and taxpayers keep tolerating it.
