Short History Of Myanmar and Culture

Short History Of Myanmar and Culture
Travel tips for your trip to Myanmar Hotel Maps Famous Places in Myanmar helps you to make your trip to Myanmar in the holiday a Splendid One
Previously known (and often still referred to) as Burma, the area of Myanmar was populated through three waves of migration: by the Hmon people from what is now Cambodia; by Mongol people from the eastern Himalayas; and, finally, by Thais from northern Thailand.
In 1824, the British, driven by imperial ambitions and goaded by repeated border clashes, annexed Burma as part of British India. In 1937 it was granted separate dominion status. During World War II, the Japanese expelled the British from Burma and attempted to co-opt Burmese political support by offering nominal independence under Japanese control. The opposition to the Japanese, who were defeated in 1944, was the nucleus of the post-war independence movement led by Aung San, who guided the country to independence in 1948 but was assassinated the same year.
A military coup in 1962 brought to power Ne Win, who renamed the country Socialist Republic of the Union of Burma and imposed an idiosyncratic totalitarian dictatorship. In 1988, after years of bizarre policies, isolationism and chronic economic mismanagement by the then Burma Socialist Programme Party, finally brought a popular uprising, with students and Buddhist monks, to the fore.
In September that year, the military stepped in. The demonstrations were brutally suppressed and the political upheaval brought to a halt. The putsch strengthened the position of Ne Win. Although he relinquished his official title as leader of the nation, he continued to exercise considerable influence over the running of the country. Ex-army General Tin Oo and the Western-educated liberal Aung Sang Suu Kyi, daughter of Aung San, led the principal internal opposition.
After crushing domestic political opposition, the Ne Win junta concluded in 1989 that some political concessions were essential (mostly to assuage international opinion) and announced that elections would be held.
The main opposition movements campaigned under the banner of the National League for Democracy, led by Aung San Suu Kyi, and won the 1990 election. However, the regime used elaborate delaying tactics and harassment to hold onto power; Suu Kyi was put under house arrest for five years.
During the early 1990s, the regime had become an international pariah and its key opponent, Aung San Suu Kyi, would not go away. In 2000, she was put under house arrest, released and then again arrested and jailed in 2003. In 2009, she was placed in a Rangoon prison for allegedly breaching the terms of her house arrest despite international condemnation.
The country’s turmoils continued with the 2007 Saffron Revolution in which monks and civilians were beaten, killed or arrested during anti-government protests. Elections in February 2011 saw Thein Sein of the Union Solidarity and Development Party elected as President of Myanmar.

Myanmar
formerly called
Burma.
1. Yangon will be the capital city of Myanmar and is an average Asian city with it is enjoyable green tropical trees and enjoyable
lakes. The special thing about Yangon is that it has not been spoilt by modern development though it is progressing
gently at it's own pace. The city is the main entrance to the country and in addition houses the principle seaport.
Yangon is home to numerous stunning pagodas, about the most stunning being The Shwedagon Pagoda which stands on Theingottara
hill. This golden shrine is gilded from top to bottom which makes it glisten in the sunlight an totally awesome spectacle.
Not as ancient but of no less beauty is the 20 year young is Karaweik Hall stands in the Royal Lake (Kandawgyi Lake). A
mythical creature known as the Karaweik bird is what this structure has been founded on and as it too is gilded from leading to
bottom it can be a pleasant sight to behold as it shimmers on the lake.
2. Situated in Bagan and erected in the 1100's will be the Dhammayangyi Temple that is a Buddhist temple.The temple remains
unfinished to today. There are other temples in Bagan but the Dhammayangyi is the hottest because of its mass which
makes it exclusive. It is shaped like a pyramid which features extra fine brickwork. Some individuals think that the temple was
built by an evil king.
3. Mandalay is Burma's second biggest capital and is in addition the cultural and religious centre of Buddhism. This is displayed
by much more than 700 pagodas.
In Manadalay you will see over 700 stone slabs located at the foot of Mandalay Hill. Together they're inscribed with the
whole Buddhist scriptures which are far better called the Pali Canon. This has earned the reputation as the largest book in
the world and is referred to as the official "Buddhist Bible.
Mandalay Palace is a place not to be missed on a visit to Mandalay. There is an 8 meter high brick wall surrrounding the
palace and a broad moat which has heaps of goldfish. Thinking about that the palace was completely destroyed by fire in World
War II and completely rebuilt it remains a favorite attraction for numerous tourists every year.
4.In the Mon State you will discover the Kyaikhtiyo Pagoda. What helps to create this pagoda really intriguing is the story that
accompanies this wonderful feat of nature. The pagoda is 7.3 and is perched atop a golden rock. The rock itself is right on
top of the Kyaikhto mountain.
The story that accompanies the rocks precarious balance and how it can stay in this location is as a result of a Buddha hair
that has been placed precisely within the pagoda.
Apparently it really is believed that a King who had receive the Buddha's hair from a hermit was told to hunt for a rock that
gave the impression of the hermits head. The hermit instructed the King to search for a boulder whose shape resembled the hermit's
head. Once the right rock was found the hair was placed into the pagoda on top of it. Legend has it that the King had
supernatural powers as his mom was a dragon princess and his father was an alchemist.
This is thought of as an extremely sacred place and men and women originate from all over to travel to this unusual pagoda.
