Pakistan
Under British rule, Pakistan was part of India. At the request of the
Muslim League, the British decided, in 1947, to split it from India.
Pakistan became independent one day before India did. West Pakistan
was separated by 1600 kilometers from East Pakistan (today's
Bangladesh). Three principalities, including Kashmir, chose not to
join either country and to become independent.
