BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE BASIC INFO. GEOGRAPHY GOVERNMENT BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE BASIC INFO. GEOGRAPHY GOVERNMENT ... BURMA Once known as Burma, Myanmar was an independent Buddhist kingdom from the 11th to the 13th centuries, when the country fell to Mongol invaders. One hundred years later, it was a satellite of China. Britain and France vied for Burma, and in the early 1800s, France was in the ascendancy. Britain, however, eventually triumphed and Burma came under the control of the British raj of India. In 1937, Burma became a self-governing protectorate. Burma was the site of heavy fighting between Japanese and Allied forces during World War II. In 1948, the Union of Burma was born. Fourteen years later, a military coup under General Ne Win overthrew the government to establish a repressive, one-party state. The result: the so-called "Burmese path to socialism" which caused economic stagnation and isolation from the international community. Public discontent caused the resignation of Ne Win but it remained difficult to reinstate public order. That September, military rule was restored. In 1991, international attention was focused on Burma as the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Aung San Suu Kyl; she was released from house arrest in 1995.

Bahasa Indonesia Nederlands English Español Português Our stories: Chapters: Burma: 40 Years of Repression By Yvette Turlings, 18 July 2002 Burma, once the largest exporter of rice, is now one of the poorest countries in the world. Years of exploitation and economic mismanagement by its military dictators have brought this fertile and mineral-rich country to the brink of ruin. Economic sanctions isolated Burma from the rest of the world. The history of the Burmese Empire started in 1044 with King Anawratha. From the city of Bagan he ruled over a territory comprising practically all of present-day Burma. At the end of the 19 th century border conflicts with the Raj (the British colonial administration in India) lead to the annexation of Burma by the British.

Intranet Search Background to Burma Issues in Burma Current Activism ... History History Of Burma Early Burma The Nation we know as Burma was first formed during the goldenage of Pagan in the 11th century. King Anawratha ascended the throne in 1044, uniting Burma under his monarchy. His belief in Buddhism lead him to begin building the temples and pagodas for which the city of Pagan (above) is renowned. Pagan became the first capital of a Burmese kingdom that included virtually all of modern Burma. The golden age of pagan reached its peak in during the reign of Anawratha's successor,Kyanzitta (1084-1113), another devout Buddhist, under whom it aquired the name " City of four million pagodas ". Under Colonial Rule Although Burma was at times divided into independent states, a series of monarchs attempted to establish their absolute rule, with varying degrees of success. Eventually, an expansionist British Government took advantage of Burma's political instability. After three Anglo-Burmese wars over a period of 60 years, the British completed their colonization of the country in 1886, Burma was immediately annexed as a province of British India, and the British began to permeate the ancient Burmese culture with foreign elements. Burmese customs were often weakened by the imposition of British traditions. The British also further divided the numerous ethnic minorities by favouring some groups, such as the Karen, for positions in the military and in local rural administrations. During the 1920s, the first protests by Burma's intelligentsia and Buddhist monks were launched against British rule. By 1935, the Students Union at Rangoon University was at the forefront of what would evolve into an active and powerful movement for national independence. A young law student Aung San, executive-committee member and magazine editor for the Students Union, emerged as the potential new leader of the national movement. In the years that followed, he successfully organized a series of student strikes at the university, gaining the support of the nation.

History of Burma Burma's history, even to the present day, has been a struggle for supremacy between warring peoples. Almost all of the country's citizens can trace their roots back to tribes that invaded their resource-rich land. First came the Mons from the east, who established the Buddhist tradition in Burma. Then followed the Pyus, refugees from Tibe; the Burmans from the borders of China and Tibet, and the Shans (also known as Tais), immigrants from Thailand. rd century BC Mons cultivate close ties with India through the port city of Thaton. st century Pyu people settle in upper Burma. th century The Tais invade Upper Burma, attacking the capital Halin in 832 and enslaving the population. Very little mention to be found of the Pyus from this point onwards. th century Mramma people (also known as the Bamars) move down the Ayeyarwady river from the China-Tibet border and establish themselves as the major power in the rice-cultivating region of the north. They fortify Bagan from which they can control the Ayeyarwady river and trade routes between China and India. The formidable King Anawrahta establishes the First Burmese Empire when he conquers the Mon capital of Thaton (east of Yangon).

History of the Mon People of Burma The Mon are the earliest known inhabitants of lower Burma. They founded an empire, and introduced both writing and Buddhism into Burma. In the year 573, two Mon brothers, Prince Samala and Prince Wimala, founded the Mon kingdom Hongsavatoi at the present site of modern Pegu. This kingdom flourished in peace and prosperity for several centuries until it was occupied by the Burman dynasty. In 1757, the Burma ruler U Aungzeya invaded and devastated the Mon kingdom, killing tens of thousands of Mon, including learned Mon priests, pregnant women, and children. Over 3,000 priests were massacred by the victorious Burmans in the capital city alone. Thousands more priests were killed in the countryside. The surviving priests fled to Thailand, and Burman priests took over the monasteries. Most of the Mon literature, written on palm leaves, was destroyed by the Burmans. Use of the Mon language was forbidden, and Burman became the medium of instruction.

Back to Top The Union of Myanmar, known as Burma until mid-1989, is the land of the great Irrawaddy, or Ayeyarwady, River. Most of the country's people live in the fertile lowlands drained by the river. Foreign products and travelers come through Rangoon (Yangon) , Myanmar's capital. Myanmar is bordered by China, Laos, Thailand, the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh, and India. Myanmar is mountainous. Its parallel ranges are separated by the north-south valleys of the Irrawaddy, the Salween, and the Sittang rivers. The Irrawaddy and the Salween rise high in the Tibetan Highlands of China. The Irrawaddy Valley may be divided into three parts. The narrow, thinly populated upper valley reaches to about 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of Mandalay and receives other swift mountain streams. Much of the broader middle valley is known as the dry zone because its rainfall is low. The lower valley, which is the delta region, extends 180 miles (290 kilometers) upstream from the sea. A range of low mountains, the Pegu Yoma, runs east of the Irrawaddy.
