Secondly, Myanmar experienced three feudal dynasties in history, as well as British colonial rule and Japanese occupation rule. 1945, the Japanese army was defeated and Myanmar returned to British rule. After the war, the wave of national independence swept the colonies in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Affected by this, Myanmar's independence wave rose, 1947 Myanmar became autonomous, and 1948 Myanmar officially became independent. In the struggle for independence in Myanmar, due to different interests, the attitudes of all ethnic groups towards independence are not the same. Moreover, after decades of war, Myanmar's civilian weapons are rampant, and all ethnic groups have their own armed forces, so civil armed disputes continue.
After independence, Myanmar established the Socialist Federation of Myanmar. 1958 A military coup took place and a military government headed by General Niwin came to power. During the military government's rule, the repression of other ethnic minorities in Myanmar became more and more severe, and the great nationalism of Burmese people was also the most serious, so the anti-government activities in Myanmar were the most active during the military government.
Another reason is that Myanmar * * * and Myanmar * * * split into four parts in the 1990s, competing for territory with each other and jointly fighting against the punitive actions of the Myanmar government.
Drug competition, North Myanmar is located in the Golden Triangle, and drug cultivation has a long history. North Myanmar is also the main battlefield of Myanmar's civil war. North Myanmar is also the place with the largest number of armed factions in the world, such as the remnants of the Kuomintang, the Wa State, the Kachin Independence Army and so on. They compete for territory with each other, which leads to the expansion of the army and the need for military expenses. In order to raise military expenses, they grow drugs, then compete for territory, continue to expand their troops and fall into a vicious circle.
Of course, the most fundamental thing is poverty. There have been many military coups in Myanmar, the situation is turbulent, the government bureaucrats are corrupt and incompetent, and the economic development has lagged behind for a long time. Even Burmese people can hardly survive, let alone other ethnic minorities. Poverty causes people to have no sense of belonging to the country, so they can do whatever it takes to survive.
In a word, there are five reasons for the chaos in Myanmar: poverty, drugs, warlord melee, the central government's suppression of ethnic minorities, the prevalence of national independence and separatism, and the struggle for power and profit by various political factions. Of course, there are other reasons, but mainly the above five points.
