>England splits its directly controlled territory in two between Muslim Pakistan and Hindu India, but says each Princely State is free to join the side it wants or become independent

>Muslim prince of majority Hindu Junagadh wants to join Pakistan, Pakistan agrees but India invades and conquers it, Pakistan seethes

Hindu prince of majority Muslim Jammu and Kashmir wants to join India, India agrees but Pakistan invades and conquers (some of) it, India seethes
