Examiner-Focused Final Judgment (Timeline Style)
| Question | Verdict |
|---|---|
| Why did Musharraf take power? | Governance collapse & civil–military breakdown |
| Immediate cause | Attempted removal of Army Chief |
| Enabling factors | Institutional conflict & economic strain |
| Overall assessment | General Musharraf took power in 1999 because prolonged centralisation, institutional paralysis, economic pressure and the fallout from Kargil destroyed civilian legitimacy and civil–military trust; the attempted dismissal of the Army Chief acted as the immediate trigger, enabling the military to seize control in the name of restoring stability |
