1974 Famine in Bangladesh

Key findings
The famine of 1974 was caused by a combination of factors, including severe monsoon flooding, market failures, and price speculation in the food-grains market. The imports of food grains were reduced by 28% in 1974 compared to 1973, and the amount of food grains imported during the crucial months of September and October fell by 89% and 74% respectively, compared to the previous year.
The key finding is that wrong decisions led to a decline in the economic status of Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India.

Following some months of these disturbances, which included calls for Independence by the people of East Pakistan, the armed forces moved to take control of East Pakistan. This move was met with resistance from the people of East Pakistan and resulted in a civil war that was to last for nine months 
↓
Wrong Decision:- After the Liberation war if all notes existed in the market OF Bangladesh were overprinted in a common style, it was understood which money was for Bangladesh and which money was for Pakistan
The newly independent Bangladesh found the international community with a helping hand in its moments of trial but cann't afford it as there was discrepancy of the constitution of the ruling government.
