Burma is a country of peace-loving and naturally humble people in South East Asia. After its Independence from the British Empire, British style parliamentary democracy survived in Burma for only a decade. In 1958, the first military regime annexed power from the civilian government.
Although the military regimes carried out multi-party general elections in 1960 and 1990, the military generals just ignored the people's opinion when people voted against pro-military parties and showed their overwhelming support for pro-democracy parties.
