The Partition of Bengal in 1947, part of the Partition of India, was a partition that divided Bengal into the two separate entities of West Bengal belonging to India, and East Bengal belonging to Pakistan. In 1955, East Bengal was renamed East Pakistan, and later became the independent nation of Bangladesh after the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971.
