Seal, Deep Water T he history of Burma's jade mines in the West is a brief one. While hundreds of different reports, articles and even books exist on the famous ruby deposits of Mogok, only a handful of westerners have ever made the journey to northern Burma's remote jade mines and wrote down their findings. Occidental accounts of the mines make their first appearance in 1837. Although in 1836, Captain Hannay obtained specimens of jadeite at Mogaung during his visit to the Assam frontier (Hannay, 1837), Dr. W.Griffiths (1847) was the first European to actually visit the mines, in 1837 (Griffiths, 1847). The following is his account, as given in Scott and Hardiman (1900-1901): These celebrated serpentine mines occupy a valley of somewhat circular form, and bounded on all sides by thickly wooded hills of no great height. To the north the valley passes off into a ravine, down which a small streamlet that drains the valley escapes, and along this at a distance of two or three miles another spot of ground affording serpentine is said to occur. The valley is small; its greatest diameter, which is from east to west, being about three quarters of a mile, and its smallest breadth from four hundred and sixty to six hundred or seven hundred yards.

83. License Plate History Of Burma, Or Myanmar A detailed automobile license plate history of burma, or Myanmar. http://www.whidbey.net/licenseplate/Burma.html

License Plate History of Burma/Myanmar I have had a long correspondence with a man in Rangoon, Burma. This page is based on that correspondence and the excellent book "Registration Plates of the World, Third Edition". The first thing to clear up is the proper name of the country. Myanmar is Burma in the Burmese language. Myanmar is to Burma what Deutschland is to Germany or Côte d’Ivoire is to Ivory Coast. In 1989 Burma changed its country name to Myanmar on its stamps and much was made of this fact but I’ve noticed that whenever my correspondents refer to their country it is always referred to as Burma. The history of license plates in Burma fall naturally into three periods. Nobody is sure when license plates began to be used in Burma but by the mid-1930’s they were in use. The first period is from around 1930 to 1953. During most of this period the British ruled Burma and plates were in western characters. This continued during the early years of independence. It was not until 1953 that plates in Burmese characters were required. The second period lasted until 1996. The third period began in 1996. A fourth period could be added. From 1941 to 1944 Burma was occupied by the Japanese. It is not known what types of plates were in use during this period. This period is outside the scope of this page. It is important to remember that in Burma there are two types of license plates, registration plates and general number plates. Registration plates are issued to a particular vehicle while general number plates are issued to firms representing vehicle manufacturers. They are used on vehicles until the vehicle is registered by its new owner. Supposedly this takes place within a month or so and the plate is returned to the firm for reuse on another vehicle. In many places this type of plate is called a temporary plate but its use is different in Burma.

Central Burma The U.S. Army Campaigns of World War II Mule skinners and pack animals of the M ARS Task Force plod through the hills toward the Burma Road, January 1945. (National Archives) Introduction World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind. However, the half century that now separates us from that conflict has exacted its toll on our collective knowledge. While World War II continues to absorb the interest of military scholars and historians, as well as its veterans, a generation of Americans has grown to maturity largely unaware of the political, social, and military implications of a war that, more than any other, united us as a people with a common purpose. Highly relevant today, World War II has much to teach us, not only about the profession of arms, but also about military preparedness, global strategy, and combined operations in the coalition war against fascism. To commemorate the nation's 50th anniversary of World War II, the U.S. Army has published a variety of materials to help educate Americans about that momentous experience. These works provide great opportunities to learn about and renew pride in an Army that fought so magnificently in what has been called "the mighty endeavor." World War II was waged on land, on sea, and in the air over several diverse theaters of operation for approximately six years. The following essay is one of a series of campaign studies highlighting those struggles that, with their accompanying suggestions for further reading, are designed to introduce you to one of the Army's significant military feats from that war.

Recent Mon history Burma has been racked by civil war ever since its independence, over 40 years ago. The Mon people, as well as other ethnic minorities such as the Karen and Shan, have suffered greatly during this period. Burma gained independence from Britain in 1948, and it has been ruled by military dictators since then. The current rulers are the SLORC (State Law and Order Restoration Council), who took power in a 1988 coup, suspending the legislature and the judiciary. One of the most notorious actions of the military regime in Burma was the Aug. 8, 1988 massacre of thousands of students engaged in peaceful protests against the government. Follow this link for photos from the 1988 massacre The current Burmese government has received world-wide condemnation for its human-rights violations, and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, a Burmese political prisoner, received the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to bring international attention to the grave conditions in Burma.

History of the Burma Star Association The History of the Burma Star Association The Burma Star Association was officially founded on the 26 February 1951 with 2000 founder members. The rules of the Association were drawn up by Lord Louis Mountbatten and Field Marshal Lord Slim. The broad aims of the Association are to promote the comradeship experienced in the bitter fighting in the jungles of Burma, and also to set up a welfare organisation so that members and widows in need can be given poverty assistance in times of ill-health or other debilitating circumstances. The Burma Star Association is Tri-Service and is strictly non-political and non-sectarian, with permanent representatives from the Royal Navy, Army Royal Air Force and Royal British Legion on the National Council. To become a full member of the Association, an ex-Serviceman, ex-Servicewoman or Nurse must have been awarded the Burma Campaign Star for service in Burma during World War II for the necessary qualifying period or the Pacific Star with Burma Clasp. The badge of the Association which is worn in the lapel or in the regulation green beret incorporates a replica of the Burma Campaign Star, and permission to take advantage of this singular honour was supported by His Majesty King George VI in consultation with Earl Mountbatten and Field Marshal Lord Slim, and this badge and title were accepted by the College of Heralds. This fact recognises the rigorous nature of climate, topography and the extremely debilitating conditions in which to wage a successful campaign against a determined and fanatical enemy, thus making this Association unique among post war ex- Service Associations.

Contact Information Bucknell Information For: Select one Prospective Student Alumni Visitors Home Academics Resources Burma-Bucknell Connection History The Burma-Bucknell Award The rich heritage of intercultural links between Burma and Bucknell began in 1846 when Eugenio Kincaid, Baptist missionary on leave from his post in Burma, became a charter trustee of the University at Lewisburg (renamed Bucknell University in 1886). When Kincaid returned to Moulmein, he encouraged Maung Shaw Loo, the university's first international student, to study in Lewisburg. Shaw Loo arrived in 1858 to study at the Academy, preparatory division for young men, and graduated from the university in 1864, thus beginning the long Burma-Bucknell connection which culminated in a series of international Weekends held from 1948 through 1965. During the Tenth Anniversary Burma-Bucknell Weekend, his Excellency U Win, Ambassador from the Union of Burma to the United States, presented a beautifully hand-crafted silver bowl from the President of the Union of Burma and Mrs. Win Maung, "symbolizing 100 years of friendly relationship between the people of Burma and Bucknell University." A number of voices, some through translators, have told and retold the Burma-Bucknell story. Whenever possible, the facts presented in the historical notes linked to this page have been verified. The notes were excerpted from the complete history of the Burma-Bucknell connection researched and compiled by David Barneda, Fremont Intern, University Archives, 1994-1995.

94. A Short History Of Burma Since 1752 burma is more or less a really united country under the Konbaungdinasty of king In the nineteenth century Britain tries to control burma. http://www.electionworld.org/history/burma.htm

In the fifth century BC the Pyu, a Tibeto-Burman tribe arrive in present-day Burma. Around the Pyu rule includes large parts of the area. Another tribe, subordiante to the Pyu, named the Burmese, establish in 849 Burmese Kingdom of Pagan . The other tribes, including the Pyu and the Mon, move to the north of the country. In 1287 Pagan is liquidated by Mongolian invadors and the state desintegrates in divided territories dependent from China. These territories unite in 1582 into the Kingdom of Burma under the Toungboo dinasty, but this doesn't develop into a stable country. Since 1752 Burma is more or less a really united country under the Konbaung dinasty of king Alaungpaya. In the nineteenth century Britain tries to control Burma. It begins the conquest in 1824, expanding its holdings after each of the three wars. At the end of the third war in 1885 Britain gains complete control of Burma, annexing it the province of Burma inside British India . In 1937 Burma becomes a separate British colony, but the strive after independence is very strong. Japan invades and occupies Burma in 1942 and establishes from 1943 until 1945 the puppet state Republic of Burma , lead by Burmese nationalists. Head of state is Ba Maw. The nationalists join the British forces in 1945 to liberate the country. In 1946 the United Kingdom regains control over Burma. The Burmese nationalists, led by Aung San of the AFPFL, demand complete political and economic independence from Britain. Britain accedes to these demands.

H O M E Sexual relationships in Myanmar If you are traveling to Myanmar, you may be interested in sexual relationships with locals, and no, I do not mean the services of prostitutes or other commercial providers. While you can meet Myanmarns interested in sex accidentally, the chances of success are not particularly high if you are there only for a limited period of time (as I said: no prostitutes). On the other hand, Myanmarns often are sexually attracted to foreign people. For young Myanmarn women, especially in the big cities, it is chic to have a Western boyfriend. So, there must be a trick to overcome the time-consuming "accidental", and to link more effectively the sexual interests of foreign visitors with those of locals. Try the Internet. Or, more to the point: try www.AdultfriendsFinder.com . The service lists a good number of Myanmar residents explicitly interested in non-commercial sexual relationships. While there are more males on the search than females, there are indeed an amazing number of women using the service. It is truly amazing how popular www.AdultfriendsFinder.com

Exchange rates A brief history of the Mergui Archipelago During the year of 1676 the infamous Samuel White settled in Mergui. A great interloper of his time, White soon gained control of Mergui and its surrounding province. With the backing of King Nari of Siam, White became the Shahbandar of Mergui (Governor), and also an Admiral of the Siamese Navy. Using his powers, he openly seized merchant vessels in the Bay of Bengal, and claimed them and their cargoes as his prize. Rendering himself nothing less than a pirate. In the channel approach to the port lays Tenasserim Island, it has a sheltered westerly bay completely obscured from the harbour and therefore acted as a perfect smugglers lair. Many a ship were taken as prizes by awaiting interlopers and pirates and much of the booty spilled into the seas during swash buckling raids!. During the Sixteenth century, Burma was split in to two distinct Kingdoms, Upper Burma and lower Burma. The region between Mawlamyain and Kawthoung was collectively known as Lower Burma. Although there was peace and prosperity at the turn of the sixteenth century, the same could not be said for their cousins in the North. War was raging between the upper Burmans and the Indians, in the north west of the country. King Alongbhaya, who was the governing Monarch at the time, decided to lend support, took his army and joined the War. After nine years of fighting he was killed in battle.

BI Home BI Projects Resources BI Publications ... Home History of Burma Burma has one of the most eclectic cultural mixes in all of Asia. This began with the migration of three groups, the Mons from present-day Cambodia, the Mongol Burmans from the Himalayas and the Thais from northern Thailand. The territory that is now Burma, was first united under King Anawratha in present day Bagan. However, this unification was short lived and it took 250 years before Burma was reunified in the mid-16th Century under a series of Taungoo kings. Border clashes with British troops, economic potential and empire expansion lead the British to invade Burma. It took three invasions to control the whole of Burma in 1824, 1852 and 1883. Burma, under the British rule was annexed to India. The British brought with it colonial infrastructure and developed the country into a major rice exporter, and other export businesses, such as teak and gems. In 1937 Burma separated from India. In World War II, a group, led by Aung San and including Ne Win, founded the Burmese National Army, which fought along side the Japanese to drive the British out of Burma. However, before the end of the war, they realised that the Japanese were just another colonial power, and what they really wanted was independence. So the Burmese National Army changed sides and fought with the allied forces to expel the Japanese. Following World War II, the British agreed to Burma's independence and elections were held in April 1947. Aung San and his new anti-fascism 'People's Freedom League' party won. However, Aung San and most of his government were assasinated three months later.
