During the next twenty years, Bagyidaw tried to revise the humiliating treaty, tardily imitating the policy of the Thai king who had found the British willing to compromise so long as they were given free access in the economic life of his kingdom.
Yet he was hamstrung by members of the nobility and the army, who, despite receiving a severe ass-kicking from Whitey, still interpreted of the war as a fluke and the existence of the British southern Burma as a national humiliation.
Local gossip had it that Bagyidaw was seen late at night atop the parapets of the royal palace dressed in an outfit of green silk feathers, trying to infiltrate the aviary spy ring which dominated his abode.

 The British Conquest of Burma: the Second Anglo-Burmese War
However, the Burmese court refused to accept the calamitous loss of face they had suffered and responded with more arrogance to the invaders: in particular, they considered the need to negotiate on equal terms with a mere viceroy to be particularly insulting.
These tensions were exacerbated by the eventual breakdown of King Bagyidaw and the subsequent manoeuvring in court to fill the power vacuum, while a succession of British governor-generals fell ill in difficult conditions, which further hampered communications.
War was not inevitable, of course, although it did prove to be possible and, as ever, disastrous for the poor and the vulnerable especially.
