Europeans established trading posts in the area in the 16th century. Eventually the area known as Bengal, primarily Hindu in the western section and mostly Muslim in the eastern half, became part of British <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/india-google-maps\/\">India<\/a>. Partition in 1947 resulted in an eastern wing of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/pakistan-google-maps\/\">Pakistan<\/a> in the Muslim-majority area, which became East <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/pakistan-google-maps\/\">Pakistan<\/a>. Calls for greater autonomy and animosity between the eastern and western wings of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/pakistan-google-maps\/\">Pakistan<\/a> led to a Bengali independence movement. That movement, led by the Awami League (AL) and supported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/india-google-maps\/\">India<\/a>, won the independence war for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/bangladesh-google-maps\/\">Bangladesh<\/a> in 1971, during which at least 300,000 civilians died.The post-independence AL government faced daunting challenges and in 1975 was overthrown by the military, triggering a series of military coups that resulted in a military-backed government and subsequent creation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/bangladesh-google-maps\/\">Bangladesh<\/a> Nationalist Party (BNP) in 1978. That government also ended in a coup in 1981, followed by military-backed rule until democratic elections occurred in 1991. The BNP and AL alternated in power between 1991 and 2013, with the exception of a military-backed, emergency caretaker regime that suspended parliamentary elections planned for January 2007 in an effort to reform the political system and root out corruption. That government returned the country to fully democratic rule in December 2008 with the election of the AL and Prime Minister Sheikh HASINA. In January 2014, the incumbent AL won the national election by an overwhelming majority after the BNP boycotted, extending HASINA&#8217;s term as prime minister. With the help of international development assistance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/bangladesh-google-maps\/\">Bangladesh<\/a> has reduced the poverty rate from over half of the population to less than a third, achieved Millennium Development Goals for maternal and child health, and made great progress in food security since independence.
