The claim by King Min Bin of …
Years: 1532 - 1532
The claim by King Min Bin of Mrauk-U that all of Bengal belonged to ancient Arakanese kingdoms, though without foundation, is nonetheless used by Min Bin as the pretext to exploit the growing weakness of Bengal, a sultanate in long decline due to its wars with the Delhi Sultanate and the Ahom Kingdom.
Leading a combined invasion force of twelve thousand (three armies of eleven thousand men in a three-pronged attack, and a flotilla of war boats carrying one thousand troops), he invades Bengal on October 7, 1532.
According to Arakanese chronicles, the combined invasion force defeated an Bengal army of ten thousand men and took Chittagong.
