The Bengal famine of 1943 was a major famine in the Bengal province[B] in British India during World War II. An estimated 2.1–3 million,out of a population of 60.3 million, died of starvation, malaria and other diseases aggravated by malnutrition, population displacement, unsanitary conditions and lack of health care. Millions were impoverished as the crisis overwhelmed large segments of the economy and social fabric. Historians have frequently characterised the famine as "man-made",asserting that wartime colonialpolicies created and then exacerbated the crisis. A minority view holds that the famine arose from natural causes.

Answer:
'The Famine of '76') was a famine between 1769 and 1773 (1176 to 1180 in the Bengali calendar) that affected the lower Gangetic plain of India from Bihar to the Bengal region. ... The start of the famine has been attributed to a failed monsoon in 1769 that caused widespread drought and two consecutive failed rice crops.
