Asian independence, revolution, and partition

Objective: Explain indian independence and partition and indonesian independence struggle, distinguish their meanings, and apply them to a described case.

Indian independence and partition: Independence in 1947 accompanied partition into India and Pakistan with major violence and displacement.

Cold War and postcolonial histories combined external pressures with local goals and choices. Nonalignment sought autonomy through varied policies rather than absolute absence of alliances or cooperation. Development and political transitions produced uneven benefits and burdens. A familiar case cannot represent an entire continent. Distinguish a change in state institutions from the persistence or transformation of social and economic inequalities. Application: A lesson includes costs alongside sovereignty. This most directly illustrates indian independence and partition. A chronology distinguishes declaration from later sovereignty arrangements. This most directly illustrates indonesian independence struggle.
