General Yahya Khan imposed martial law in Pakistan and refused to give autonomy to East Pakistan as promised by the Awami League after they won a majority of seats in the 1970 election. This led to war breaking out between Pakistan and India, which supported Bengali independence. Due to geographical, social, linguistic, and political differences, East Pakistan separated from West Pakistan on December 16, 1971 to become the independent country of Bangladesh.
