Best Answer

Pakistan declared its independence from Great Britain in 1947.

Pakistan arose out of the demand for a autonomous state for Muslim Indians. Over the course of the 19th century Britain imposed changes to India that made Muslims living in north India uncomfortable. The Muslims felt more and more marginalized by Britain; the Muslims were afraid they would lose all their influence and privilege in north India.

Early in the 20th century, with their backs against the wall, Muslims established the Muslim League, a political party that expressed the concerns of the Muslims in India. The Muslim League leader Muhammad Ali Jinnah began calling for a separate Muslim state, as he believed Islam and Hinduism were too different to exist concurrently.

By the time Britain ended its rule in India in 1947, the Muslims had enough support to establish their own state, Pakistan.
