Myanmar was once a province of India. Why did it later become an independent country?

Myanmar is a province of India that was the result of British colonization. With the end of World War II and the outbreak of the independence movement, Myanmar gained independence from British colonial rule.

An independent regime has long existed in Myanmar.

As early as the Han Dynasty, there were Pyu people and a country was established in Yongchang. By the Tang Dynasty of China, the country reached its peak; then the fierce tribes who entered the Khmer region from the mainland gradually became stronger, and in 849 AD The city of Bagan was established, and later the Bagan dynasty was established. The invasion of the Mongolian army in 1287 led to the demise of the Bagan dynasty. After that, the Bago dynasty, the Ava dynasty, and the Toungoo dynasty were established one after another. In 1752, Yongjiya founded the Gonbang dynasty and unified the entire Myanmar, and also cooperated with the Qing Dynasty in the late Qianlong reign. A Qing-Burmese war was fought. These dynasties all submitted to China and existed as vassal states of China.

With the expansion of the British Empire, Burma became a British colony and a province of India.

Western colonists had already set foot in Myanmar during the Toungoo Dynasty in the early 16th century. In the 1820s, after the British established a foothold in the southern part of the Malay Peninsula and occupied most of India, they began to prepare to invade Myanmar. At the same time, the Konbaung Dynasty also wanted to expand its territory and attack Thailand, and the British took the opportunity to intervene. After several Anglo-Burmese wars, the Konbaung Dynasty fell in 1886, and China was forced to sign the Sino-British Burmese Treaty with Britain, and Burma became a province of British India. ?

Myanmar broke away from India in the late colonial period.

After Myanmar held its first election under British rule in 1936, the Myanmar Constitution formulated the following year agreed to the autonomy of the Burmese people, and Myanmar separated from British India and became British Myanmar. During World War II, the Japanese army occupied Burma and established a puppet government. After World War II, Burma still belonged to the United Kingdom.

Start the process of democratization and become an independent country. Beginning in 1947, the states of Myanmar signed the "Panglong Agreement" and united to put pressure on the United Kingdom. After constant pressure and resistance, against the backdrop of the outbreak of the independence movement in the international community, Myanmar broke away from the United Kingdom on January 4, 1948. After colonial rule, Myanmar gained independence, and Myanmar began to exercise national sovereignty as an independent country.
