Great Britain divided its colony along religious lines, but this division created a country-Pakistan-composed of two halves separated by hundreds of miles. East Pakistan felt that it had no real power in Pakistan's government, so it broke away and became Bangladesh.

Bangladesh was called East Pakistan from 1947 to 1971. During this period, Bangladesh formed a part of Pakistan's federation.
