In August 1947, the countries of Pakistan and India were formed by the Partition of India that effectively dissolved the British Indian Empire. The country of Pakistan was characterized by two culturally and geographically separate areas popularly called West Pakistan and East Bengal (later East Pakistan). Although East Pakistan had a slightly larger population, all political power was centered in West Pakistan and it was commonly thought that East Pakistan was being financially exploited. On March 25, 1971, West Pakistan came down violently on growing political unrest and Bengal nationalism in East Pakistan ,which in turn caused East Pakistan to declare its independence and become the state of Bangladesh. Civil war ensued the following day and came to be officially known as the Bangladesh Liberation War.
