How it ended, as its article says
Dissolved, 1970-07-01. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
On 1 July 1970, West Pakistan was abolished under the Legal Framework Order of 1970, which dissolved the One Unit policy and restored the four provinces.

What led to it, and what came of it
The investigation's own picture: 4 causes the record names and 0 results, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.
Open the investigation: every row with its evidence, the conditions at the time, the theories condition by condition, and the succession analysed.
