From rich to poor, what has Myanmar experienced?

Myanmar was originally an independent country. Before the geographical discovery, the land in Myanmar was just like that in ancient China. Experienced dynasty wars and power changes. So before the British colonists entered Myanmar, Myanmar was a backward feudal system. Personally, I think the main influence on Myanmar is the colonists.

1. Why are you rich?

The important factor that makes Myanmar rich is colonization. Before being colonized by Britain, Myanmar maintained a feudal system. After being colonized, although the political system has not changed much, the idea of democracy has gradually civilized the Burmese people with colonization. In order to colonize the Asian continent, Britain used Myanmar as a springboard, so although Myanmar was colonized before. However, Britain's industrial construction in Myanmar is still very comprehensive, which has greatly promoted the development of Myanmar.

2. Why are you poor?

It is still inseparable from the local culture of Myanmar. When it was colonized, the rulers of Myanmar were forced to accept the new system and mode of production. Later, the colonists left, in order to show their control and their conservative ideas. They changed everything about the colonists. Restored the previous single production and backward political system. Even though the colonialist's mode of production and political procedure were advanced, the ruler only saw his harm. At the same time, the colonial forces have not completely disappeared. They still have great obstacles and are not all beneficial. Because they are colonists, not philanthropists, the purpose of colonization is to exploit wealth and resources from the colonies.

To sum up, why Myanmar became poor is because it failed to grasp the tide of the times and dared to change itself. Always follow the old routine, which is bound to fail.
