📜 A Glimpse into History
Formerly known as Burma, Myanmar was gradually colonized by the British during the 19th century and formally annexed in 1886. Colonial rule reshaped the nation’s political, economic, and social fabric. After enduring years of struggle, hardship, and resistance, the people of Myanmar united under visionary leaders to demand self-governance and national identity.
Following the end of World War II, Myanmar negotiated its independence through determination, diplomacy, and sacrifice. At the stroke of midnight on January 4, 1948, the nation emerged free—marking a historic turning point rooted in courage and collective will.
