The causes are generally thought to be a combination of natural disasters ( Cyclone s, Drought s and Flood s) in the early 1970's, combined with various local and internationally influenced socio-political factors which followed the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971 . Among the socio-political factors, Devinder Sharma of the Global Hunger Alliance claims that: At the height of the 1974 famine in the newly born Bangladesh, the US had withheld 2.2 million tonnes of food aid to 'ensure that it abandoned plans to try Pakistani War Criminal s'.
