Explanation:

The World War II ended in 1945. The end result was a win for the Allies, tens of millions of deaths and injured, ruined countries, and divided German nation. Couple of years after that, the British not being able to sustain and control their colony India, granted their independence, thus India became independent country. But the independence was not as most of the people expected, as the country was partitioned into three parts, India, West Pakistan, and East Pakistan. Lot of conflicts emerged because of it, and lot of bloodshed with it. East Pakistan was the last to manage to gain full independence, and it did it with war, winning it, and finally becoming the independent nation of Bangladesh. Further east, in the Philippines, in 1986, the first female president was elected in this Southeast Asian nation. Corazon Aquino won the elections and it came as a big surprise. She managed to hold the office for six years, becoming a beloved and admired president in this island nation.
