Text on the Burmese nationalist movement

This page is about British rule in Burma, and, I believe, it should focus on that; the text on the Burmese nationalist movement should go into the Nationalist movement in Burma page, which remains a stub. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 20:11, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Colonial India template

Since Burma was in British India until 1937, I have also added the Colonial India to the article (below the History of Myanmar template). If you don't like the template, or would like to move it up or down, or don't want it in the article at all, please let me know here. Regards, Fowler&fowler«Talk» 15:07, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Merge British Imperialism in Burma/Myanmar and British rule in Burma

I would say merge British Imperialism in Burma/Myanmar into British rule in Burma and highlight the issues of imperialism in that article. Gryffindor (talk) 15:35, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

• Agree Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:01, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

As the only opinion was in agreement I have merged a large part of the content of the imperialism article into the British rule one. Please comment if you have any views on the changes or the text left behind.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 16:03, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Bias

The article seems to give a very one-sided negative account of the ramifications of British rule. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.73.227 (talk) 13:05, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

I agree - and it contains a great number of biased assumptions. Not good enough wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.253.4.7 (talk) 00:55, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Anglo Military Occupation and Burmese Authority Government → British rule in Burma – This controversial subject was moved today without any talk at all. It was then moved a second time and a robot fixed the double redirect so that I can't move it back. It should be done asap and the subject of moving talked about before taking such action again.

In the movers' defense, the previous name made no sense at all so it was good that you were obliged to handle the material at a standard name.

That said, the separate British governments like Burma Province should really be handled separately. — LlywelynII 06:09, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Referring to historic "Burma", not to modern "Myanmar"

I have just replaced today's name of the country by Burma, where it refers to the historic state. Also, I have flagged some "Citations missing" and don't think that the repeated references to the article in the Encyclopedia Britannica on the British in Burma without any page reference are sufficient. Instead, I have included a quotation and reference from the webpage of the EB https://www.britannica.com/place/Myanmar/The-initial-impact-of-colonialism, so that readers can refer to that article more conveniently. - In general, this wp article gives a good overview in my view.

Chief Commissioners missing,

I've noticed that Harcourt Butler and Frederick William Richards Fryer are not in the article as Chief Commissioners of Burma, why is that? Ben3441 (talk) 06:30, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Separation from India - 1938

...and killing Rangoon University student. As no inline ref to turn to, would someone kindly correct the grammar: either "killing a Rangoon University student", "killing Rangoon University students", or something else. Thanks. Davidships (talk) 23:07, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Japanese language map

Surely there's something in English we could use instead. The current image is entirely useless to English Wiki WP:READERS aside from 'ooh... pretty'. — LlywelynII 04:46, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Divisions

Ok... so what were they before 1885? The 1882 Encyclopaedia Britannica, 9th ed., has entirely different sections but no clear map. — LlywelynII 06:13, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Citation needed on British provocation

In 1852, the Second Anglo-Burmese War was provoked by the British, who sought the teak forests in Lower Burma as well as a port between Calcutta and Singapore.^{[citation needed]}

From Gemini Advanced:

You're right to call out that Wikipedia passage. It's a bold claim to say the British "provoked" the Second Anglo-Burmese War, and it needs proper sourcing to be credible.

Here are some sources you could explore:

• The Origins of the Second Anglo-Burmese War (1852–53) by D.G.E. Hall: This academic article delves into the complex diplomatic and economic factors that contributed to the outbreak of the war. It highlights British desire for commercial expansion, including access to valuable resources like teak, and their strategic interests in securing a port in Lower Burma.
• The Second Burma War by Michael Barthorp: This book provides a detailed account of the war itself, but it also includes background information on the political and economic context leading up to the conflict. It discusses British ambitions in the region and their frustration with Burmese trade policies.
• A History of Burma by G.E. Harvey: This comprehensive history of Burma provides a broader context for understanding the Anglo-Burmese Wars. It discusses the British East India Company's growing influence in the region and their desire to secure access to resources and markets.

Gemini does seem to finally agree that the British were mainly responsible for the final outbreak of armed hostilities:

While the British were the aggressors in the sense that they initiated the war, both sides played a role in the escalation of tensions and the ultimate outbreak of hostilities. The Burmese resistance to British demands, coupled with incidents of mistreatment of British subjects, provided the British with the pretexts they needed to justify military action.
