The Kashmir region is derived by the Split of India in 1947. The Kashmir regions were claimed by India, and Pakistan because Kashmir has many resources. China tried to interfere too but it had a minor participation in the problem.

There have been some wars because of Kashmir. The Indo-Pakistani Wars(1947 and 1965), and the Kargil War(1999). Other considerable difference between Pakistan and India is for the control of the Siachen Glacier.

Today, Pakistan controls Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. India controls Jammu, Ladakh and the Valley of Kashmir. China controls the small area of the Valley of Shaksgam Valley and the Aksai Chin territory.
