		Much of this ferment focused on a new emphasis regarding ethnic identity, in which definitions of community reflected the complex interaction of religious movements, immigration patterns, and the attempt to impose Western sociological assumptions.
		A revolution in the capital led to the deposition of the king and the elevation of Mindon Min.
		Mindon Min, attempted to introduce administrative reforms, but the pressure of the looming power of British India made it difficult to introduce a program to revitalize and strengthen the state.

	King Mindon Summary
		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.
		Min's son Thibaw Min succeeded him in 1878, King Thibaw was defeated by the British Empire in 1886 with Third Anglo-Burmese War.

		Therefore General Fytche's words describing King Mindon are all the more impressive: "Doubtless one of the most enlightened monarchs that has ever sat on the Burmese throne.[50] He is polished in his manner, has considerable knowledge of the affairs of state and the history and the statistics of his own and other countries.
		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.

	Amarapura
		King Bodawpaya (1781-1819) of the Konbaung Dynasty founded Amarapura to be his new capital in 1783, soon after he ascended the throne.
		From 1841-1857, King Mindon Min (1853-1878) decided to make Amarapura the capital again, before relocating to his planned city of Mandalay in 1860.
		Today, little remains of the old city, as the palace buildings were dismantled and move by elephant to the new location, and the city walls were pulled down for use as building materials for roads and railways.

	Vacation in Burma with Asian Vacations - Myanmar History
		King Mindon attempted to bring Burma into greater contact with the outside world: he improved the administrative structure of the state, introducing a new income tax; he built new roads and commissioned a telegraph system; he set up modern factories using European machinery and European managers.
		King Mindon died before he could name a successor, and Thibaw, a lesser prince, was manoeuvred onto the throne by one of King Mindon's queens and her daughter, Supayalat.
		Burma became a unitary state with effective power in the hands of the Burman majority at the centre and lip service was paid to minority rights.

		This is because “constitutions” in Burma were either imposed by the colonial administration during the British colonial period or conveniently imported from outside sources by the elite leaders of post-independent Burmese governments.
		Much as he is regarded by fellow artists in Burma as a pioneer in the field of modern painting, his idiom remains little understood due to the lack of understanding of both his motivations and the context which inspired them.
		In Burma, the state apparatus is often the despot’s own worst enemy: state interventions frequently beget societal animosity and resentment rather than quiescence, and they provide human rights critics with a steady supply of misdeeds with which to further castigate the regime internationally.

	Myanmar Architecture: Sandamuni Pagoda, Mandalay
		In 1874, King Mindon had the pagoda built near the graves of the Crown Prince and the other members of the royal family who lost their lives in the 1866 coup.
		It was perhaps as a result of this coup that Mindon did not appoint another successor until, upon his deathbed in 1879, the scheming Central Queen secured the appointment of her weak son-in-law, Theebaw, and her daughter, Supayalat, as successors with her as regent.
		The unpopular regime collapsed in the British annexation of Mandalay and Upper Burma in 1885.

	Myanmar History - Periodical History
		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.
		The British seperated Burma from India in 1937 and granted the colony a new constitution calling for a fully elected assembly, but many Burmese felt that this was just a ploy to exclude them from any further Indian reforms.

	Forty Years in Burma, by John Ebenezer Marks
		Shortly after the conclusion of the war, or rather as the cause of its termination by a bloodless revolution, the foolish King Pagan Min was deposed, and his brother, Mindôn Min, was placed upon the throne.
		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.

	Buddhism in Myanmar
		Myanmar, or Burma as the nation has been known throughout history, is one of the major countries following Theravada Buddhism.
		Brahmanism had strangled it in its land of birth; in Sri Lanka its existence was threatened again and again; east of Burma it was not yet free from priestly corruptions; but the kings of Burma never wavered, and at Pagan the stricken faith found a city of refuge.[30]
		The advent of Theravada Buddhism with its openness and its aim to spread understanding must have been quite revolutionary in Pagan and obviously the people were eager to acquire the knowledge offered to them by the bhikkhus.

		The first was that ivory was produced in two remote tribal areas in Kachin State in the north, and the second was the description of an implement like a small paper-knife used by the nobility to squeeze on ceremonial headdresses and tuck away hair.
		Lower Burma ivory carving was probably stimulated by the presence of the British and Indian merchants and administrators.
		Upper Burma ivory carving developed in the Court of Ava in the 1860s with occasional royal paraphernalia, but there were no pieces that might require refined carving skills.

		It was apparently printed in Burma at the behest of Major General Fytche, the said agent, and forwarded to the (British) Government of India for its "interesting and graphic descriptions of a country and peoples but little known to Europeans".
		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.
		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.

		Upper Burma was occupied by Churchill as a New Year present to Queen Victoria on 1 January 1886 and reunited with Lower Burma in a single province within British India.
