In earlier times, crises of much lesser intensity would have brought the military rushing onto the political stage, as happened in 1958, 1969, 1977, and 1999. Indeed, the army has ruled Pakistan for a total of 33 years since independence in 1947.
追溯历史可以发现，程度轻得多的危机就会导致军方重返政坛，1958年、1969年、1977年和1999年都发生过此类事件。事实上，自1947年独立以来，军队掌管巴基斯坦的年份多达33年。
