		Third, Burma’s “Japanese interlude” represented a fundamental turning point in its development, more significant than the achievement of formal independence in 1948 and arguably of equal significance to its colonization by the British in the nineteenth century.
		Burmese high school and university students were a prominent and much admired group in colonial society, and their rather playful political activism during the late 1930s resembled that of Americans and Europeans in the 1960s rather than Burmese oppositionists today, who face jail, torture, and possibly death.
		But war atrocities have their own dynamic, and there is no reason to believe that an army largely unconstrained by public opinion or the rule of law—as Ne Win’s was even before his coup d’etat in 1962—would have followed civilized rules of war, even if the Japanese had never come to Burma.

		The murder of the heir apparent to the Burmese throne in 1866 caused King Mindon not to designate another successor, and in a country without an orderly monarchical succession pattern, this was probably the greatest mistake of his regime.
		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.
