Bangladesh Xxx ⟶
The region that is now Bangladesh has a rich and diverse history dating back to the 3rd century BCE. The area was part of various ancient empires, including the Maurya and Mughal empires. In the 18th century, the British East India Company established its rule in Bengal, which led to the exploitation of the region's resources and the imposition of British colonial rule. Bangladesh was part of Pakistan from 1947 to 1971, when it gained independence after a bloody war of liberation.
