AI overview
East Pakistan was the eastern part of Pakistan from 1947 to 1971, separated from the western part by India and located in what is now Bangladesh. It matters historically because its struggle for independence and eventual separation from Pakistan in 1971 fundamentally reshaped South Asian politics and resulted in the creation of a new nation.

Ostpakistan (bengalisch পূর্ব পাকিস্তান – Pūrba Pākistān; Urdu مشرقی پاکستان – Mashriqī Pākistān) war ein Provinzialstaat von Pakistan mit der Hauptstadt Dhaka, der von 1955 bis 1971 existierte. Er nahm den östlichen Teil der historischen Region der Bengalen ein, der 1947 aufgrund der muslimischen Bevölkerungsmehrheit bei der Teilung Britisch-Indiens zum östlichen Landesteil Pakistans wurde. Im Jahr 1971 erlangte Ostpakistan infolge des Bangladesch-Krieges unter dem Namen Bangladesch seine Unabhängigkeit.
