Before it

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.

  • Wars recorded per centurynone

    had more wars on record per century than 44% of 3,187 states, counting the wars the atlas hosts under each.

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.
