At midnight Aug 14/15 , 1947 Lord Mountbatten declared the formation of 2 countries : India and West Pakistan + East Pakistan (currently Bangladesh).

Comparable to the UN Partition Vote of November 1947, which declared the formation of two new states, one Jewish and one Arab, in the Mandate of Palestine, to be created at the end of the Mandate in May 1948.
