  5. History and Government • Bangladesh was state of Pakistan until 1971 when it became independent after a bitter war with Pakistan. The Military government has been corrupt ever since. This has delayed development and foreign investment.

  7. Climate • tropical; cool, dry winter (October to March); hot, humid summer (March to June); cool, rainy monsoon (June to October) • droughts, cyclones; much of the country routinely flooded during the summer monsoon season due to flat land and lack of investment in flood prevention.
