Since the emergence of Pakistan on August 15, 1947, it has faced several problems, the most important of which is the issue of its survival as an independent state and away from regional and international interventions in the presence of the conflict of the superpowers in what was known as the Cold War between the two camps, the communist eastern camp led by the Soviet Union and the capitalist western camp led by the United States of America, in addition to Indian ambitions in Pakistan, which was part of the lands of India until its independence. The Pakistani governments faced these challenges and began to lean their policies towards the capitalist camp and preferred to proceed according to its aspirations, in order to obtain economic, political and military support and to establish the entity of the new state. Due to the deterioration of Pakistan's economic and political conditions from independence until 1958, this led to the intervention of the Pakistani military establishment in the government and the coup led by General Muhammad Ayub Khan succeeded in overthrowing the civil authority and the army took over the leadership of the country. The position of the United States of America on this coup was very important to the Pakistani military establishment to continue supporting the country and to legitimize the coup. The position of the United States of America on this coup was Variable according to the prevailing international conditions and its national interest.
