ISBN-10(13): 0000000133

Publisher: Rangoon, Burma : Universities Press,


Edition:

out at a time when the Southeast Asian region was under threat from the British who were
competing for new territories and political might. Thus, Burma's resistance to Western pressure is
probably the result of an accumulation of its unhappiness and frustration under British rulers, who
controlled the country, first partially and then entirely, for more than century before they gave
Burma its independence in 1948.
