shows conflicts between the South Asian
nations of India and Pakistan. Both
nations gained independence from Britain
simultaneously in 1947, and almost
immediately plunged into war over the fate
of the mountainous Jammu-Kashmir region.
All of their conflicts with each other
stem from the Kashmir conflict, with the
exception of the Bengali War of
Independence, in which India aided the
rebels of East Pakistan to become the
sovereign nation of Bangladesh.
India and
Pakistan came close to war again in 2001
following a terrorist attack on the Indian
Parliament. India blamed Pakistan for the
attack. In November, 2008, the initial
blame for the terrorist attacks on Mumbai,
India was once again placed on elements in
Pakistan. Whether the Mumbai attacks lead
to a war atmosphere again remains to be
seen. Click on
