Re: Which 20th Century King led a war against himself?
Ok, fine fine. It was King George VI. At the time of the 1947-48 Indo-Pak war, King George VI was the King of both Pakistan and India; he was also the Commander-in-Chief of both the Pakistani and Indian armies!
Re: Which 20th Century King led a war against himself?
so will you say that Abraham Lincoln led a war against himself…since he was the president of both the North and the South** durin the Civil War** 
Re: Which 20th Century King led a war against himself?
The President of the south was Jefferson Davis, not Abaraham Lincoln. The Confederate States of America had declared themselves to be independent of the United States of America and no longer recognised Abraham Lincoln’s authority.
Pakistan and India, on the other hand, had agreed to terms of independence from Britain which established King George VI as being the King of both countries. India only became a republic in 1950; Pakistan followed in 1956.
Re: Which 20th Century King led a war against himself?
Well..what the south said would only have been true if the confederates had won the war (YES YES, I KNOW they still say its halftime)…but the point is, they lost, and the whole reason the Civil War began was cuz the North wanted to show the Confederates that Abraham Lincoln was their president and they could not by any chance consider themselves seperate frm the North. Their not recognizing Lincon’s aunthority did not by any chance mean that he wasn’t their president. Even though they did say Jefferson was their president, it was in reality Lincoln, since when the elections were held, the ballots of the entire nation were counted, not just the North’s…
Re: Which 20th Century King led a war against himself?
Circular logic, and not comparible to Indo-Pak 1947. In 1947 the authorities in both India and Pakistan recognised George VI as their King; whereas in 1865 the authorities in the South no longer recognised Lincoln as their president.
Re: Which 20th Century King led a war against himself?
But he was still their president...doesn't matter wheter they recognized him or not...Saddam Hussain was the leader of Iraq, doesn't matter wheter they recognized him or not...Pervez Musharraf is our president, as well as the Islamic Groups in pakistan, doesn't matter wheter they recognize him or not....he's still their president...
Conclusion: Doesn't matter if a leader is recognized or not, if he is the leader, then that's that....he's the leader of the entire nation, even of those that oppose him....
Re: Which 20th Century King led a war against himself?
Was it King George VI, as he was the king and commander in chief of both pak and india.

Re: Which 20th Century King led a war against himself?
How can King George be Governor General of Pakistan?
When the countries were left by the british, they became commonwealth states (sorta like USSR but less royal).
Re: Which 20th Century King led a war against himself?
Not at all. When both countries left, they became commonwealth realms, independent kingdoms that shared the same Monarch.
King George VI was the head of state, represented in Pakistan by his Governor-General, Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
Because neither Pakistan nor India had their own constitutions at the time, they adopted the same form of independence as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Newfoundland were given in 1931 - independent kingdoms, with separate Monarchies but filled with the same people.
India put together a republican constitution in 1950, but Pakistan only became a republic in 1956.
Ever wondered what Jinnah’s title of Governor-General of Pakistan legally meant? He was King George’s representative in Pakistan… legally speaking, he acted in place of and on behalf of the King.
Indeed, one of the titles conferred on Queen Elizabeth II at her coronation in 1953, alongside Queen of the United Kingdom, Queen of Canada, Queen of South Africa, Queen of Australia was… Queen of Pakistan.
It was only 3 years after her coronation that the Pakistani government ceased to acknowledge her as the Head of State, and made Pakistan into a republic.
Re: Which 20th Century King led a war against himself?
Does that mean that Prime Minister Singh of India is also the prime Minister of Azad kashmir as India claims, even though Azad Kashmir does not recognise India’s claim on its territory?
I think not!
Re: Which 20th Century King led a war against himself?
hey i didn't know u were a moderator or did u just become.
P.S: sorry shouldn't have asked u here.
Re: Which 20th Century King led a war against himself?
India, my friend, does not claim Azad Kashmir as its territory. India claims the other 2/3 of Kashmir as its territory 
And now we have to look into “facts” instead of the “opinions” of the people you see. What you have brought up are opinions, as you stated yourself by saying “as Inida claims.” However, India’s claiming that Singh is the Minister of kashmir does not by any chance make him the minister of Singh. You are talking about a situation that is COMPLETELY different from what we were talking about the Civil War. The Kashmiris did not elect Singh as their Minister, so these “claims” might as well be considered rubbish.
Goin back to the REAL topic, about the Civil War, as i stated earlier, the entire U.S. was given a chance to vote, right? The answer is YES THEY WERE…now since the entire nation voted, it means they shoulv’e accepted whoever would win the election as their President, and by custom, he would be their president, doesn’t matter wheter they voted for him or not…HE WAS THEIR PRESIDENT.
Bringing the Kashmiri conflict in just deviates the topic to a much more complex situation, where we can’t even be certain who the real leader is, since we don’t really listen to the voices of the Kashmiris themselves, but just like you did, we try to listen to the voices of India or Pakistan.
