In August 1947, India and Pakistan declared independence from the United Kingdom. At the time, Pakistan consisted of West Pakistan and East Bengal (both primarily Muslim), geographically separated by India (largely Hindu). East Bengal became East Pakistan in 1955, but the Bengalis felt marginalized, so East Pakistan declared war on West Pakistan on 25 March 1971, and declared its independence as the People’s Republic of Bangladesh on 17 April 1971, though victory wasn’t achieved until 16 December 1971.
