Treaty of Mandalay

The Treaty of Mandalay, signed in 1871, was an agreement between Britain and the Kingdom of Burma (now Myanmar). It established peaceful relations and set the boundary between British-controlled territory and Burma, allowing Britain to manage its own affairs in the region. The treaty marked a step toward British influence in Burma, eventually leading to full annexation in 1885. It primarily aimed to prevent conflicts and clarify territorial borders, paving the way for increased British involvement in Burma's political and economic affairs.
