Liberation War

The Liberation War of 1971 grew out of the denied majority verdict of the 1970 election, the March non-cooperation movement, and the Pakistan Army's 25 March crackdown. What followed was not a single battlefield episode but a combined political, military, and humanitarian rupture: a provisional government, sector-based armed resistance, mass displacement into India, and finally the defeat of Pakistani forces in December and the birth of Bangladesh.
