“History and Background”

Pakistan came into being in 1947 when Britain declared India independent and announced two successor states, India and Pakistan. Created to meet the demands of Muslim Indians for a separate state, Pakistan initially included two Muslim areas one on the western side of India the other on the east. Tensions between East and West Pakistan ended in civil war and the split of East Pakistan to form Bangladesh in 1971.
