Bangladesh Case Study by: Christie Rosengren, Jessie Patterson, Lara Carpenter, Louisa Matheny, Nathan Toenjes Introduction The small tropical country of Bangladesh is the result of a bitter civil war that divided the country of Pakistan into two nations.

The Second Kashmir War broke out in April of 1965 and lasted until September of that year. Ironically, the root of the conflict was not in Kashmir, it was farther south in the modern Indian state of Gujrat.
