Bangladesh
Bangladesh is a country in South Asia. It is bordered by the Bay of Bengal to the south and Myanmar to the southeast and is otherwise surrounded by India. It occupies the eastern part of the historic region of Bengal. In 1947, this region became the eastern part of the country in Pakistan under the name East Pakistan due to the Muslim majority in the division of British India. In 1971, East Pakistan gained its independence under the name of Bangladesh as a result of the Bangladesh war.
