History

• The area of present-day Pakistan was the cradle
  of the earliest known civilization of South Asia,
  the Indus Valley civilization (2500?-1700 bc).
  The territory was part of the Mughal Empire from
  1526 until the 1700s, when it came under British
  rule. Pakistan gained independence in August
  1947. It initially comprised two parts, West
  Pakistan and East Pakistan, which were separated
  by about 1,600 km (1,000 mi) of territory within
  India. In December 1971 East Pakistan seceded and
  became the independent republic of Bangladesh.
