History Pakistan is located in southern Asia, bordering the Arabian Sea. It is between India on the east, Iran and Afghanistan on the west, and China in the north. Pakistan has been involved in small conflicts since its separation from British-India in 1947. The country has also recently become the victim of severe natural disasters, the latest being massive widespread flooding the past 2 years in the khyber pakhtunkhwa region and Baluchistan and also the massive 7.6 magnitude earthquake that struck in 2005 destroying thousands of homes and buildings in its wake.
