Compare the partition of India Pakistan & Israel/Palestine after World War I

The partition of India/Pakistan and Israel/Palestine are similar because both  were motivated by religious reasons and were responsible for large population movements.

Explanation:

The British were growing weaker due to war and agreed to negotiate independence for India. At the same time, Muslim Indians wanted to break away from the majority Hindu Indians because they were worried about being the minority. This growing divide led to the creation of a new state called Pakistan for Muslims. Approximately 15 million people migrated due to the partition.

The Zionist Movement advocated for a separate state for Jews free of prosecution. This idea mainly became popular because of anti-Semitism that had always been around. Zionists wanted the new state to be established in Palestine, where according to biblical records, was the home God had promised to the Israelites (ancestors of the Jewish people). In 1917, the British government issued the Balfour Declaration which favored the establishment in Palestine of a "national home" for the Jewish people. After WWI, the British were given a mandate over the former Ottoman lands in the Middle East. As a result, Zionists began to immigrate to Palestine from Europe and other countries. Of course, the Arabs in the area were unhappy about this and fought for control. In 1948, the UN divides Palestine into Jewish and Arab sections. The Jewish section declared itself to be a new country: Israel.
