During colonial times, Myanmar was known as Burma and was part of British India. With the Government of Burma Act in 1935, Burma received its own legislative body and was no longer part of the province of India. In the meantime, Japan occupied the country in 1941, but the British regained it at the end of the war.<\/p><p>Burma gained independence in 1948, but was subsequently ravaged by civil wars. Colonial history had produced a partition of Burma into two areas: The Hill Areas, which were indirectly administered and linked many different languages and ethnic groups, and the Burma Proper as directly \nadministered areas. The hastily set up state formation fostered conflicts and disagreements between these parts of the country.<\/p><p>Between 1962 and 2010, Burma\/Myanmar was run by various military regimes that gradually isolated the country internationally and seized more and more power. At the same time, Buddhism became strongly embedded in society and the state. The military state took violent action against other religions. In October 1965, all economic enterprises were nationalised by law.<\/p><p>During 1988, there were months of unrest against the military's economic policies. Many of these protests were violently put down. Thousands of people, mainly students and monks, died in the peaceful so-called \"8888 Uprising\". The then head of government Saw Maung renamed the country Myanmar in 1989. This is not recognised by some international governments.<\/p><p>Since 2008, the state has been divided into seven regions in Burma's heartland and seven ethnic sub-states. These minority areas are increasingly suffering from the activities of armed groups and para-state structures. So-called war economies, for example with regard to mineral resources, timber deposits and drug trafficking, promote conflict over land and resources.<\/p><p>In May 2008, a tropical storm hit Myanmar, killing between 63,000 and 101,000 people, according to UN estimates. With one million people homeless, the military regime refused to accept foreign aid. Despite the natural disaster, the constitutional referendum was held a week after the storm, with the population reportedly welcoming the new constitution with more than 90 per cent approval.<\/p><p>The first elections followed in 2010, but were not considered free or fair by independent observers. The winner was the military-created Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP). In February 2011, Thein Sein was appointed Myanmar's first president. The group behind politician Aung San Suu Kyi won 43 of the 45 opposition seats. She later received the Nobel Peace Prize for her work for a non-violent democratisation of Myanmar, for which she had been under house arrest from 1995 to 2010.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6417fd8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6417fd8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d1ff765\" data-id=\"d1ff765\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a638de7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a638de7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.the-helping-people.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/Oekonomie-pjvbyrn2jvlvi609draddt0ornirrssipdfngl8mog.png\" title=\"Economics\" alt=\"Economics\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d43d5b1\" data-id=\"d43d5b1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-342148d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"342148d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Economics<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d4bbce elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4d4bbce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The military coup is also reflected in the gross domestic product.

However, no specific date has been set for either a draft constitution or free parliamentary elections.<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\">In August 2007, the government removed all subsidies on fuel, causing the price of petrol, diesel and gas to rise by 500 per cent. The protests that followed were violently put down. The number of demonstrators killed is estimated at between ten and several thousand.Suu Kyi's party took over the government after the first true democratic elections in 2016, but was unable to prevent the military's violent crackdown in Rakhine State. This fuelled speculation that Suu Kyi was cooperating with the military and created resentment among the population.<\/p><p>Suu Kyi's party won again in the parliamentary elections in November 2020. However, according to the constitution, a quarter of the seats in the parliamentary chambers were reserved for the military, who spoke of electoral fraud. According to the EU, the elections were free and fair. This was followed by a military coup on 1 February 2021 in which Suu Kyi, President Win Myint and other members of the leading party were arrested. Suu Kyi was charged with corruption in June 2021 and in December was sentenced to two years in prison. Human rights organisations call the trial a show trial.<\/p><p>Many protests against the military regime and for a return to democracy are still taking place today.
