Burma is a country located in Southeast Asia. Its named was changed by the ruling military government in 1989 to Myanmar. Some national governments including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the Burmese population fail to recognize this name change as they do not recognize the military government that brought about this event.

Myanmar is actually the current name for the country, although not everyone agrees with that, since it was named "Myanmar" by the ruling Dictatorship. But it was originally a British colony, and at that time, it was given the name "Burma." Some people today, including certain journalists, still call it Burma.
