We can divide the history of Bangladesh in several parts that is showed

below :

Ancient period
Mughal period
British period
Pakistan period
Language Movement
Independence war

In 323 BC, the Nanda Empire and

Gangaridai Empire made relation with
Alexander.
Mahasthangarh was the ancient capital
of the Pundra Kingdom at 700 BC.

In this period, Bengal came under the

control of Delhi as the Mughals
conquered it in 1576.
Dhaka became a Mughal provincial
capital.
Mughal period ended in 1803.

During the rule of the emperor Aurangzeb the

English East India Company was permitted to
establish its base at Kolkata.
In 1905 George Curzon divided Bangla into two
new provinces (Eastern Bangle and Western
Bangle)
In 1947 Louis Mountbatten Became the last
Viceroy of British India.

British India was partitioned and the

independent states of India and Pakistan
were created in 1947.
Pakistan's history from 1947 to 1971 was
marked by political instability and economic
difficulties.
When the state of Pakistan was formed in
1947, its two regions, were split along
cultural, geographical, and linguistic lines.

Our mother language is BANGLA.

We achieve our mother language due to the language movement which was
occurred on 21 February, 1952.
UNESCO declared 21 February as international mother language day on 17
November 1999.
Since 21 February, 1952 has been observed every year to commemorate the
martyrs of the Language Movement.

We achieve our country Bangladesh after a long bloody liberation war.

The Bangladesh Liberation War lasted for nine months.
A full scale movement of non-cooperation with the military government began
on the 26th of March, 1971 which is celebrated as the Independence Day every
year.
On December 16, 1971, the Pakistan army surrendered and we celebrate this
day as our Victory day.
