  1. yah true, during its independence the country was in civil war with the Burmese gov trying to survive vs. numerous ethnic rebellions with the Burmese gov at the time only controlling Rangoon. Only under the Ne win dictatorship int he 1960s was the Rangoon gov able to wrest control of most of the country from various ethnic and ideological rebel groups who were very much poorly coordinated. for decades the Tatmadaw the Myanmar military were the ones who controlled the country and kept things stable despite blatant horrible corruption and misrule. Now after 60 years of Tatmadaw rule, the Burmese people got fed up and want a new way to rule Myanmar, and yah if they manage to overthrow the Tatamadaw from power, I htink Myanmar will still be a federal state but the states wil have a bit more autonomy to rule themselves.

  2. yah I think when Myanmar opened up to the world during the leadership of Aung San su chi the Burmese got to go out of Burma work in Thailand knew what was going on in the world and found the Myanmar was totally misruled by their leaders, and made to be one of the poorest countires in the world , so the Burmese of all ethnicities all sick and tired of decades of abuse from the Myanmar gov opted hey we want t brand new gov and a new way of ruling hte country and open up Myanmar totally . The Tatmadaw are getting their asses kicked . Interesting what China will do, dont think China will intervene since that might be a reason for war with India. as both countries esp. India views Myanmar as its back door.
