Indo-Pakistani War of 1971
In 1947, India and Pakistan were partitioned by their former colonial ruler, Great Britain. Britain, drained by two world wars in 40-years, no longer had the will or the money to guide the subcontinent to a peaceful partition by consensus. A job that should have taken ten-years was done in a few months.
The British left in haste, leaving unresolved the issue of Kashmir. More importantly, the subcontinent was impatient for Britain's departure. This triggered five wars between the new states: 1947-48, 1965, 1971, 1999 and continuing insurgency/counterinsurgency that began in 1987.
Two other potential wars were narrowly averted in 1987-88 and 2001-02, and a limited one fought in 1999. Since the basic issue remains unresolved, the next war may be only a matter of time.In 1970, East Pakistan voted for independence and armed rebellion. A quick and nasty counterinsurgency suppressed
