India and Pakistan
India and Pakistan were created when British left India. Pakistan further divided into two (Pakistan and Bangladesh) in 1971.
The two nations, formed at the time of partition of India in 1947 by the British, were the present India and Pakistan. Bangladesh was a part of Pakistan till 1971 Burma, although not regarded as a part of India, was nonetheless part of the wider India under British Empire.
When India and Pakistan were one country, it was called British India. It was under British rule until 1947 when it was divided into two separate countries - India and Pakistan.
They both claim certain territories in Kashmir that are currently held by the other country. It has partially to do with unsettled disputes from the time of the partitioning at the end of British rule, and partially due to ancient tribal and regional disputes that go back centuries before the arrival of the British in India.
