In the division between India and Pakistan, the political future of Kashmir and other Indian Princely States did not stipulate clear by the British India government.

Despite the international community made great efforts to mediate the Kashmir issue, but the Kashmir issue did not get much progress. Due to the long existing of the Kashmir issue, India and Pakistan were in the long running tensions. So, America could not maintain good relations with both Pakistan and India at the same time. America formed an alliance with Pakistan eventually led to the rapid development of the Indo-Soviet relationship. And America provided military aid to India led Pakistan to change its diplomatic policy. As a result, U.S.-Pak relation was damaged greatly. Therefore, the Kashmir issue was a long-term negative factor which eroded the U.S.-Pak relation.
