Myanmar History

Myanmar has a long history, brilliant but complex. Burmese – the largest ethnic minority in modern Myanmar – are not the original owners of Myanmar. Before the Burmese migrated and established their dynasty, Pyu had built city-states during the first century BC in central and northern Myanmar modern. In addition, it is supposed that the Mon were able to settle and establish their country in southern Burma before the expansion of the Burmese people.
