Which was the eventual outcome of the conflict between east Pakistan and west Pakistan in 1971
The eventual outcome of the conflict between East Pakistan (later became Bangladesh) and West Pakistan in 1971 was the independence of East Pakistan and the formation of the sovereign nation of Bangladesh. In a violent and brutal war that lasted from March to December 1971, the Bengali nationalist and independence movement, supported by India, fought against the Pakistani military junta and West Pakistani forces. The war resulted in widespread atrocities and the displacement of millions of people.
However, on December 16, 1971, the Pakistani forces officially surrendered to the joint forces of the Bengali freedom fighters and the Indian army. This led to the establishment of Bangladesh as an independent country, ending Pakistan's control over East Pakistan and marking the birth of a new nation. The conflict was a significant event in South Asian history, causing a massive humanitarian crisis and leading to the formation of two separate countries based on linguistic and cultural differences.
