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.

The one reason why nationalism in arab countries spread in the Middle East during and after World War 1 was :
<em>(C) Arabs in the region wanted to gain independence from the Turkish leaders of the Ottoman Empire.</em>
The Ottoman Empire’s entry into the First World War in November 1914 provided the final spark for outright revolt.The British, through their control of Egypt and the port of Aden at the entrance to the Red Sea, were reasonably well informed about the unrest brewing in Ottoman Arabia.In fact, just before the war broke out, Sharif Hussein ibn Ali sent one of his sons, Emir Abdullah ibn Hussein, on a secret mission to Egypt to contact the British military commander-in-chief there, Lord Kitchener. What support, if any, could he expect from the British if he rebelled against his Ottoman overlords?The response was cautious and qualified, but not discouraging. When war came the British quickly positioned themselves as the principal backers of the Hashemite cause.
The Berlin blockade was a blockade by the Soviet Union (USSR) of the western part of Berlin, (controlled by the US, Britain, and France) The USSR wanted all of Berlin to themselves, and so blockaded the roads to stop the NATO nations from sending supplies to the war-torned Berlin. However, the US started the Berlin Airlift, transporting thousands, if not, millions of supplies to West Berlin over a period of times (and even Christmas Gifts :D)
