U.S supplied arms to both countries to prevent spread of communism
Soviet Union aided India Pakistan tried to draw
closer to China Alliances showed effects
of Cold War developments
Foreign aid made both armies more effective, more damage & tension

Relations Today“In our search for a lasting solution to the Kashmir problem, both in its external and internal dimensions, we shall not traverse solely on the beaten track of the past. Mindsets will have to be altered and historical baggage jettisoned.”
- Atal Behari Vaypayeeprime minister of India, January 2002
“If we want to normalize relations between Pakistan and India and bring harmony to the region, the Kashmir dispute will have to be resolved peacefully through a dialogue, on the basis of the aspirations of the Kashmir people. Solving the Kashmir issue is the joint responsibility of our two countries… Mr. Vaypayee… I take you up on this offer. Let us start talking in this spirit.”
- General Pervez MusharrafPresident of Pakistan, January 2002
