Modern history of Shan nationality period

The tension between Britain and Myanmar reached its peak in two wars: 1824- 1826 and 1852. Britain won both wars, and finally captured Bagu City, calling it Lower Burma. After the British entered Myanmar, the economy of Upper Myanmar also improved significantly. 1886, Britain won the third British-Burmese war again. At this time, Britain accepted Myanmar as a province of India and set the government in Yangon. During the British colonial rule, Myanmar's transportation and education were greatly improved. The British are committed to the development of waterways, enabling countless steamboats to sail on the Irrawaddy River. Railways and highways have also been built and improved to make up for the shortage of waterways. At this time, a large number of Indian immigrants led to cheap labor and threatened the local economy. As a result, the Burmese people began to hate Indians, so that anti-Indian riots broke out on 1930. 1936, Dr. Ba Maw was elected Prime Minister in the first and only election under British rule. (This government is a puppet government) 1937, Britain created a unique Myanmar Constitution, agreeing that the Burmese people can control their own internal affairs.

During World War II, Japan occupied British Burma at 1942. When Japan gradually lost the war, it agreed to make Myanmar independent, but in fact it still manipulated the newly established puppet government behind its back. General Aung San, the father of Myanmar, then organized the "Anti-Fascist People's Freedom League" against the Japanese army. After the war, Myanmar was still under British control, and Aung San was assassinated in July 1947. Aung San's successor, Tarkin Nu, continued to lead the independence movement. The British Parliament finally1June 4, 948 officially recognized Myanmar and the Republic Independence Union.
