Partition Of India To India/pakistan In 1947

[Guest]

Hi there!







I'm doing a schoolproject were one of the questions sounds like this:



"Why did India split into India AND Pakistan in 1947" ?



My schoolbook tells me that under the WW2 the British empire wanted India to take a part on their side in the war. And the British used the promises "independent state" as baite to this.



When the WW2 was over, the muslims wanted their own state to get away from the chaos, and that is why they splitted India into two countries... but that doesen't say it all..



Can someone please tell me the answer on my schoolproject-question, or atleast try??

I would be glad for some help please=)
