Indo-Pakistani Wars

The Indo-Pakistani Wars are a series of conflicts between India and Pakistan, primarily over the disputed region of Kashmir. The first war occurred in 1947-1948 shortly after both countries gained independence. A second war happened in 1965, sparked by territorial disputes. The third significant conflict took place in 1971, which led to the creation of Bangladesh, formerly East Pakistan. A fourth, lesser-known conflict occurred in 1999 during the Kargil War. These wars reflect deep-rooted political, religious, and territorial tensions, shaping the complex relationship between the two nations. Peace efforts have often been complicated and ongoing.
