It was during the zenith of the Konbaung Dynasty that the British moved into Myanmar. Myanmar became a British colony after three Anglo-Myanmar Wars in 1824, 1852 and 1885. During the 2nd world War in January 1942, 30 youthful Myanmar patriots who had vowed to liberate Myanmar from British colonialism led by General Aung San marched together into Myanmar with the Japanese Army. And British forces from Myanmar were driven out into India. Although the Japanese authorities promised Independence for Myanmar, they imposed Fascist rule on the country. Therefore, the newly created patriotic Myanmar forces rose up against the Fascist invaders. The victorious Myanmar resistance paved way of the return of the British, who had sinister designs to re-colonize Myanmar.
