History

Historical Context

The Bangladesh Liberation War began on March 25, 1971, when the Pakistani military launched Operation Searchlight against East Pakistan, leading to widespread atrocities and an estimated 300,000 to 3 million deaths. The conflict culminated in Bangladesh's independence on December 16, 1971, and the establishment of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party by Ziaur Rahman. Today, ongoing struggles for democracy reflect the historical challenges faced by political leaders in Bangladesh.
