Why did Indian and british leaders feel it was necessary to divide India and Pakistan?

It was necessary to divide British India into two separate countries, India and Pakistan, because of the religious differences and disputes in the British colony. Hindus were concentrated in the middle while Muslims formed the majority in both the west and the east. To avoid conflict, two separate countries were created to separate the Hindus and the Muslims. But because some Muslims still lived in India and vice versa, there was mass immigration between the two countries, where conflict usually broke out. 😃

Note: also, Pakistan & India is & was racially different.They had more differences than similarities. Religion was not the only reason as stated by Jinnah in his '2 nation theory'. Today's Pakistan is predominantly indo-aryans while India is diverse/united republic.

Why did movable print of work in Europe but not in china where it was invented?

Movable print became dominant in Europe, as opposed to China, for two main reasons.

First, European languages have very small number of letters in their alphabets (usually between 20-35) and the Chinese writing system contains three thousand ideographs for basic communication alone (up to 50,000 in more complex writing). This is not to mention that Chinese ideogrpahs also require larger prints and more precisely carved metal blocks for the symbol to be right.

Second, what made the printing press a roaring success in Europe was the combination of movable type and the use of a ink-press. The creation of a simple press to repetitively force the movable type into the same position on multiple sheets of paper made printing an easy and economically viable opportunity. In China and Korea, people tried pressing paper manually to the blocks. It was a messier and far less effective process. As a result, it was generally abandoned.

How did industrialization spread to the continent of Europe?

Europe thought of itself pretty highly because of its Christianity and after the Great Schism between E and W Europe, W Europe felt the need to show up everyone.

Their steam engine in Great Britain was just another invention behind the printing press that helped them continue their capitalistic industrialization, becoming the power vacuum in the Early Modern Era.
