How the bangladesh war affected peoples lives
The Bangladesh War affected many Bengali peoples lives a lot because they finally had Independence from Pakistan,but they also had to go through a lot of suffering and tragedy to win their independence.Only very few families were unaffected by the war.This war mostly affected people who lost their families in the war.This war affected Pakistan as well because of their loss of this War it brought shame to their country which is a big deal to them.This war also affected the relationship between India and Pakistan since India decided to go against them in the war.
Reasons for the War
There was a few reasons why the bangladesh war had happened one reason was difference in religions.Another reason for the war was obviously to gain independence from Pakistan which they did.Also due to the discrimination im the economy and ruling powers against them, they then protested for independence.The last reason was money East pakistan made 70% of pakistans imports while they received only 25% so although East pakistan had the largest population they had the least political power.
Who won the war?And how?
Bangladesh won the war!They won and got their freedom they deserved,but how they go it is the interesting part.On December 3rd India got involved in the war, they launched a massive offensive against pakistan forces to support the Bangladesg Movement.Bangladesh put up a tough fight for nine months until Pakistan had surrendered.93,000 troops had surrendered to India and Bangladesh forces.
