Country profileBangladesh is one of the world's most densely populated countries in the world. Poverty is widespread, but Bangladesh has in recent years reduced population growth and improved health and education.
Formerly known as East Pakistan, Bangladesh came into being in 1971, when the two parts of Pakistan split after an intense civil war. Bangladesh spent 15 years under military rule and, although democracy was restored in 1990, the political scene remains volatile. The low-lying country is vulnerable to flooding and cyclones, and stands to be badly affected by any rises in sea levels. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-12650940 Activity
