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]
