The region we today know as Pakistan has gone by many names throughout it's history, dating back to before Alexander the great. It was the Sikh empire from roughly 1800 until 1849. From 1849 until several years after World War II, Pakistan was part of India, and controlled by the British. In 1947, with independence from India and Britain, until 1956 it was known as the Dominion of Pakistan. From 1956 to the present, it is officially known as the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
