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 of territory within India. In December 1971 East Pakistan seceded and became the independent republic of Bangladesh.
