In the 16th century, it was ruled by the Moguls or Mughals. In the early 16th century, Babur, a Mongol descendant, began campaigning in this region, and in the early-mid 16th century, established the Mughal empire which included this area. I have no specific details for the mid-16th century, the late-mid 16th century, or the late 16th century.
At present, I have little specific information on what is now Pakistan. It was part of the Mughal empire in the early 17th, early-mid 17th and mid 17th century, the late-mid 17th century, and the late 17th century.
Pakistan was repeatedly invaded or conquered by Persian or Afthan peoples. In the early 18th century, it was invaded by Persia but not controlled. In the early-mid 18th century it was invaded by the Afghans. In the mid 18th century, it was conquered by them. In the late-mid 18th century it was under Afgan rule. I do not yet have details of the early 1760s, late 1760s, early 1770s, or late 1770s. In the late 18th century, it continued under Afghan rule. I do not yet have details of the early 1780s, late 1780s, early 1790s, or late 1790s.
In the early 19th century, it gained independence from the Afghans under a Sikh kingdom. I do not yet have details of the early 1800s, late 1800s, early 1810s, or late 1810s. In the early-mid 19th century, the Sikh kingdom expanded some. I do not yet have details of the early 1820s, late 1820s, early 1830s, or late 1830s. In the mid 19th century, the British defeated the Sikhs and assumed direct rule of the region. I do not yet have details of the early 1840s, late 1840s, early 1850s, or late 1850s. The late-mid 19th century was a period of relative peace and prosperity. I do not yet have details of the early 1860s, late 1860s, early 1870s, or late 1870s. In the late 19th century the Indian National Congress was founded and included representatives from what is now Pakistan. I do not yet have details of the early 1880s, late 1880s, early 1890s, or late 1890s.
The early 20th century, early mid 20th century, mid 20th century, late mid 20th century, and early 21st century can be considered in more detail.
