What is widely considered to be the leading cause of Yahya Khan's short regimen?

  • Economic downturn

  • Rise of radicalism

  • Breakup of Pakistan

  • Corruption

Answer

Yahya Khan's short regimen was widely considered to be caused by the breakup of Pakistan. The Pakistani military, under Khan's leadership, was responsible for the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, which led to the secession of East Pakistan and the formation of the independent nation of Bangladesh. This defeat was a major blow to the Pakistani military and to Khan's political credibility.
