#Burma’s Buddhism & Monks (#BURMA HISTORY) @4 The First Anglo-Burmese War (1824-26) ended in a British victory, and by the Treaty of Yandabo, Burma lost territory previously conquered in Assam, Manipur, Arakan and Tenasserim. In 1852, British provoked a naval confrontation and thus started the Second Anglo-Burmese War, which ended in the British annexation of Pegu province, renamed Lower Burma. Britain accused King Thibaw (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 resulting in total annexation of Burma.
