THE 1910's
By 1914, Karachi had become the largest grain exporting port of the British Empire. A new building for the Karachi Port Trust was constructed in 1915 which was converted into a 500 bed military hospital just a month after its opening due to the outbreak of the first World War (1914-1918). Karachi nevertheless benefited even during the war-time period, and after the end of the Great War, a number of manufacturing and service industries were installed at Karachi.
