Nationalism:

Myanmar has been a multi-ethnic country since ancient times, with complicated ethnic relations. It was not until the 11th century AD that a loose centralized state was formed. In the more than eight centuries from then until the demise of the last dynasty, the Yongjiya dynasty in the mid-19th century, the Mon, Shan and Rakhine ethnic groups established their own political power and even ruled Myanmar for a time (such as the Shan ethnic group).

But for most of the time, they were under the rule of the Bamar regime. The Kachin, Karen, and Chin ethnic groups implemented the rule of tribal or ethnic leaders and became feudal territories or chieftains. The relationship between the ethnic minorities and the Bamar feudal dynasty during this period was mainly one of paying tribute or paying taxes.

Before independence, Myanmar had never formed a truly unified multi-ethnic dynasty throughout Myanmar. With the arrival of the British colonists, the "divide and rule" policy adopted by the colonialists brought more alienation and conflict to Myanmar's ethnic relations, causing ethnic minorities and Bamar areas to have problems in social systems and administrative systems. a greater difference.
