    The partition of Bengal in 1905 led to unrest among Hindus, who launched the Swadeshi movement boycotting British goods. The Morley-Minto reforms failed to satisfy Hindus or Muslims. In 1911, the British reversed the partition of Bengal due to the economic impact of the boycott, declining trade and profits, as well as rising revolutionary violence. The reversal was announced at the Delhi Durbar to ensure a peaceful visit by King George V, the first British monarch to visit India, and address the ongoing unrest. Muslims felt betrayed by the British decision.
