Claire Hess 1st period Burma’s War Draft

Burma’s wars against the British have affected them dramatically. Because of these wars Burma has become one of the worlds most undeveloped countries. All of Burma’s wars they end up losing something to them it may start at people them carries on to the other countries that they had captured. This ends up hurting Burma in the grand scheme of everything. Most of the wars that Burma’s has fought were against the British so that made the British very wealthy and pushed Burma into poverty. Burma’s wars have started many years ago back in the eight-teen hundreds when they first fought the British. The first war against them was the first Anglo War from 1823-1826.While fighting in this war many of the small villages and towns people died because of the anger that the people had. This war took place all over Burma mostly in the rivers and villages. While fighting in the rivers they had to go threw wet, moist, muddy, and sticky substances. They did all of that so they could be back to there normal happy lives. But, it ended differently for Burma. They had lost not only a war but also the countries they conquered and 10,000 of their recruits. This had put Burma in a very bad spot for coming wars. Their next war was not long from the first Anglo War it was only 27 years later. This may seem like a lot to us but it really isn’t, because they have to find more recruits and heal the soldiers that were hurt or severely injured. This war was shorter than the first but still just as powerful. They fought back for their homes, and religions. But what the Burmesians didn’t know is that the Siamese and the British had joined forces to wipe them out completely. This did not happen however Burma was very hurt. After this war the Burmese were very angry and this resulted in the third and final war that was known about against the British. This was the third and final war against the British in the Anglo Wars. This war was only one year, but this war was very challenging for them to complete. In this war they lost over one thousand men fighting for their freedom against Britain. They had to try harder this time because they knew that this would be their last war in this series. As they were almost done with this war the their ruler, decided to quit and go away. After all was over they regained what they had once lost and their pride was once more alive again. Now Burma has their independence from Britain. Even though their both still at war the British have some respect for Burma. Burma became their own independent country in the early nineteen hundreds. Right now they are still at war with the British but are doing quiet well. They are still in poverty but are starting to regain what they had before. Because Burma is constantly at war and has been at war for decades Burma has become one of the poorest and most isolated places in the world.
