The Bengal Sultanate–Kingdom of Mrauk U War of 1512–1516 was a conflict in the 16th century between the Bengal Sultanate and the Kingdom of Mrauk U.
Background
After the Reconquest of Arakan, the Kingdom of Mrauk was established as a Bengali protectorate. By the 16th century, Mrauk U challenged Bengali hegemony and declared independence several times. Southeastern Bengal, including the port of Chittagong, often fell under Arakanese rule.[1]
Conflict
Alauddin Husain Shah, the Sultan of Bengal, invaded the region in the 1510s. The war persisted for four years until 1516, when Mrauk U recognized Bengali sovereignty over Chittagong and northern Arakan.[1] As a result of the conflict, Mrauk U again became a vassal of the Bengal Sultanate.[1]
