1965 War

The 1965 Indo-Pakistan War was a conflict between India and Pakistan primarily over the Kashmir region. Tensions arose after Pakistan launched covert raids into Indian-held Kashmir, leading India to respond militarily. The war lasted several weeks and resulted in India gaining control over some territory, but it did not resolve the underlying issues. The conflict caused significant casualties and heightened hostility between the two nations. It also highlighted the unstable nature of Kashmir's status, contributing to ongoing tensions in the region. The war ended with a United Nations-mandated ceasefire and no major territorial changes, but disputes continued.
