Summary
| Description |
English: In 1947, India was partitioned by the British, creating the 'Dominion of Pakistan', which was two separate regions to the north-west and northeast of India. The new dominion was governed from West Pakistan, which led to frictions between the two regions. In the 1970 general elections, the Bangla-based Awami League won an overall majority, but the West Pakistani regime was reluctant to hand over power. On March 25th 1971, Pakistani troops were used to quell the growing unrest. This marked the start of the War of Independence, also known as the War of Liberation. During the War of Liberation, Mukti Bahini, a guerrilla resistance movement consisting of the Bangladeshi military, paramilitary forces and civilians was created.In November 1971, India entered the war, supporting East Pakistan. This led to victory for East Pakistan on December 16th 1971 with the Pakistan army's surrender to the Mukti Bahini at the Race Course Maidan (now Suhrawardy Udyan) in Dhaka. |
