Anglo-Burmese relations

Anglo-Burmese relations refer to the historical interactions between Britain and Burma (Myanmar). During the 19th century, Britain gradually colonized Burma, integrating it into the British Empire after three wars, motivated by strategic and economic interests. This period saw periods of conflict, control, and resistance by the Burmese. After independence in 1948, relations shifted to diplomacy and cooperation, though challenges like border issues and political differences have persisted. Today, the relationship involves engagement on economic, political, and regional security issues, reflecting both a complex history and ongoing interactions shaped by historical events.
