In August 1947, British India** became two countries, India and Pakistan, and the current Republic of India and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan were once one country.
After the partition of India and Pakistan, due to the blockade of India, Pakistan was divided into two territories, West Pakistan and East Pakistan (East Pakistan is now Bangladesh).
Today, Pakistan and Bangladesh are two countries, but after the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947, Bangladesh was assigned to Pakistan, why did Bangladesh secede from Pakistan in 1972 25 years later?
East Pakistan, once a province of Pakistan, became an enclave of Pakistan because East Pakistan and West Pakistan were separated by India. When India and Pakistan were divided, East Pakistan chose to join Pakistan, but due to geographical constraints, Pakistan's control over the province of East Pakistan was very limited and it was very inconvenient to manage.
Eventually, because East Pakistan and West Pakistan were separated by an India, not only were they quite far apart, the two languages were not yet spoken, and the real economic power was controlled by West Pakistan, and the idea of independence was born.
On 25 March 1971, Jib Rahe launched a non-cooperation campaign in East Pakistan and declared Bangladesh's independence. As soon as this incident came out, Pakistani ** Yechenya Khan immediately carried out military suppression of East Pakistan, so the Bangladesh War of Independence broke out
In December of the same year, with the support of the Soviet Union, India launched an armed attack on Pakistan, and on the one hand, East Pakistan fought for independence and launched a war of independenceOn the other hand, India took the opportunity to launch an armed offensive to support the independence of East Pakistan. Eventually, Pakistan became an independent Bangladesh.
Taking advantage of the turmoil in East Pakistan, India launched the Third Indo-Pakistani War, not only launching a large-scale surprise attack on the Bengal region, but also successfully occupying the region and establishing autonomy**, dismembering Pakistan, and occupying about 2,240 square kilometers of Pakistan's territory in this war.
In the third Indo-Pakistani war, India can be described as a win-win situation, on the one hand, it dismembered Pakistan and achieved the goal of hegemony in South Asia, and on the other hand, occupied 2,240 square kilometers of territory.
Bangladesh's independence also marked the end of the Indo-Pakistani War.
1.Distance: Bangladesh and Pakistan are separated by an India, and the two places are inconvenient to communicate with, the language is not compatible, and Pakistan's control over East Pakistan is limited.
2.India seized the opportunity to start a war: Taking advantage of the chaos in East Pakistan, India launched a war against Pakistan and eventually established autonomy in Bangladesh**, eventually dismembering Pakistan.
3.*Bangladesh is mainly made up of Bengali ethnic groups, while Pakistan is mainly made up of Punjabi, Sindhi and Pashtuns. Due to the difference in ethnic composition, there are great differences between Bangladesh and Pakistan in terms of politics, economy, and culture, which has led to the deepening of contradictions between the two countries.
4.Economic interests: West Pakistan is dissatisfied with the fact that economic power is in the hands of West Pakistan, which is relatively poor.
Overall, Pakistan not only failed to prevent Bangladesh from becoming independent, but also lost more than 2,000 square kilometers of territory in the war, and Pakistan was dismembered, further widening the gap between Pakistan's military strength and India's military strength.
