The First Balochistan Conflict was a rebellion instigated by Prince Agha Abdul Karim and Prince Muhammad Rahim of Kalat in response to the accession of Kalat and with the aim of establishing Kalat as a sovereign state, independent of Pakistan. With the arrest of the princes and the loss of many men, the rebellion came to an end in 1950 as Pakistan recaptured all territories.
