	Mindon Min Biography / Biography of Mindon Min Biography Biography
		Mindon Min, who had left the Buddhist monkhood for the throne in a sincere bid for peace, signalized his goodwill by releasing all Europeans imprisoned by the Burmese.
		King Mindon Min sought to counter this loss of morale by three means: pursuit of correct and nonprovocative relations with the British, modernization of his backward country's economy, and establishment of the Burmese-ruled portion of Burma as a major world center of the Buddhist faith.
		When Mindon Min died in 1878, a palace plot placed on the throne the extraordinarily unqualified Prince Thibaw, whose incompetence was to be a factor in the replacement of the Burmese Konbaung dynasty in 1885 by the extension of British colonial rule to all parts of Burma.

		Mindon found that the attitude of many members of the Sangha to their code of conduct was exceedingly lax.
		Although the British had not allowed King Mindon to attend the raising of the new spire onto the Shwedagon, the crowning was a symbol of the religious unity of Myanmar which persisted in spite of the British occupation.

		The war resulted in a revolution in Myanmar, with King Pagin Min (ruled 1846-52) being replaced by his half brother, Mindon Min (ruled 1853-78)).
		King Mindon tried to modernise the Burmese state and economy to resist British encroachments, and he established a new capital at Mandalay, which he proceeded to fortify.
		This was not enough to stop the Birtish, however, who claimed that Mindon's son Thibaw Min (ruled 1878-85) was a tyrant intending to side with the French and declared war once again in 1885, conquering the remainder of the country in the Third Anglo-Burmese War.

		Pagan Min, on his dethronement, instead of being murdered by his successor according to Burmese custom, was kept in honourable seclusion till his death from old age.
		Although Mindôn Min was the best, the most enlightened, and the most honourable King that ever reigned in Burma, his reign was by no means one of continued peace and prosperity.

		The work contains, perhaps of greater interest, accounts of two interviews with the Burmese king 'Moung-lon' (Mindon Min, 1853-1878), then still holding court at Mandalay, which he founded in 1857, and which was to be captured in the Third Anglo-Burmese War of 1885.
		At the first interview, the king "took up his opera glasses and surveyed us very leisurely", even though the party was but a few yards away, "and then began eating betel, which he never ceased doing throughout the whole of the interview".
		Continuing unrest in south-west China, Mindon Min's death in 1878 and the short but chaotic reign of Thibaw and his ruthlessly ambitious queen, Supayulet, which followed, put an end to such pipedreams.
