Answer
Partition of Bengal
Reason — Lord Curzon ordered the Partition of Bengal in 1905 to weaken Bengal, which had become the centre of nationalist activities. Though the British gave administrative convenience as the official reason, the real aim was to reduce the political influence of Bengal and check the growth of nationalism.
