The Toungoo Dynasty 1531–1752
Tabinshwehti was to restore the kingship. He was only fifteen, but the dice were loaded in his favour. The Shan irruption had driven the Burmese south to Toungoo, greatly increasing his man-power; he was in touch with Kyaukse, the richest area in Upper Burma and the key to Ava; and to crown all, his opponents were Shans, a hill-race with a congenital incapacity for combined action. Tabinshwehti had maintained a cart-track from Pegu to Toungoo; he…
Burma Before 1044
Burma, being little more than the valleys of a river system shut off from the outer world by hills and sea, is fitted to be the home of a unified people. The Shans did not enter the plains till the thirteenth century and the Kachins were penetrating Upper Burma when the English annexed it in 1885. In Upper Burma Indian immigrants came overland through Assam; in Lower Burma they came by sea from Madras. The Chinese describe Burma in the ninth cent…
Shan Dominion 1287–1531
The Great Khan accepted the conquest of Burma that it was an accomplished fact, and for the two and a half centuries the princelets who ruled the various parts of Upper and even of Lower Burma usually held authority under the Chinese seal. Technically they were Chinese governors; actually they were the native chieftains who would have ruled there in any case, and they did as they pleased. Since the Nanchao barrier states were henceforth the Chine…
Alaungpaya Dynasty 1752–1824
Alaungpaya built a state hut and sent ten horsemen to conduct them respectfully to it. But they were conducted along a hollow road and in the bushes on each side lay his musket men. Alaungpaya received many a check but his men fought with the greatest spirit, rushing up to stockades and tearing them down with dahs and axes. Alaungpaya had been hailed as king from the first and had already built a palace at Shwebo. Alaungpaya wrote to their leader…
The Kingdom of Pagan or The Dynasty of The Temple Builders 1044–1287
The Chola lord was probably travelling on some mission, for the Chola dynasty of Madras fostered maritime trade. Their conquest of Kedah in the Malay states brought them into subordinate relations with their own colony, the flourishing Hindu kingdom of Palembang in east Sumatra. On the outside of the temple are fifteen hundred plaques illustrating the jataka stories of Buddha’s previous existences, each explained by a short inscription in Pali or…
