What are the struggles of Aung San Suu Kyi to democracy in Myanmar?
Ever since her independence from British rule in 1948, Myanmar has been facing political instability -- an offshoot of the British policy of divide and rule. Today, this strategically important country has become synonymous with poverty, illegal drug trade, human right violation, total collapse of the education system, lack of freedom of expression, etc. Any attempt at restoration of democracy has been violently suppressed, as had happened in 1988 and again in 1990, when the military junta refused to honour the verdict of the multi party election, which had brought Aung sung su kyi to power. Today, pro-democratic forces are working under severe limitation and restrictions imposed by the government.

Military dictatorship in myanmar burma?
Burma (also known as Myanmar) is ruled by a murderous and merciless military regime. Senior General Than Shwe is the current head of state, with his other co-generals, all of them are members of the so-called State Peace and Development Council.
The controlling regime has been criticized for a great number of human rights violations. Shwe's army has destroyed 3,000 villages across the country, launched a terrible campaign against the Muslim minorities in Burma, forcing an estimated 250,000 people to flee to neighbouring country Bangladesh as refugees and recruiting over 70,000 child soldiers at gunpoint. His daughter, Thandar Shwe's wedding, was so extravagant that some of the wedding gifts given to her cost a shocking $50,000,000! The video of the wedding, I think, was smuggled out of Burma and uploaded on Youtube.com, or maybe it was uploaded secretly in Burma...
His army, the Tatmadaw, is now nearly half-a-million strong and uses rape as a weapon against the ethnic minorities in Burma.
There are over 1,000,000 internally displaced people throughout the country, these people have been forced to choose between slavery or to flee to the jungle...many chose to flee into the jungle and are now struggling to survive.
He has continously told the Burmese that his government is following the road to democracy, but the road to democracy that he is talking about is just the road to nowhere and more repression.
Shwe is the one and only man who is greatly HATED by the Burmese people, whatever he does, and if he even says that he is leading the Burmese nation and people to prosperity, he's not.
Yes it does have a mean bad dictator

Trace the Democratic Movement in Myanmar?
Democratic movement in Myanmar :
(1) Myanmwar was previously known as Burma. It gained independence from the
British colonial rule in 1948 and became a democracy.
(2) But the democratic rule in the country came to an end in 1962 with a military coup.
(3) In 1990, free and fair elections were held for the first time after almost three decades.
(4) The National League for Democracy won the election. It was the political party
led by Aung San Suu Kyi, a great freedom fighter.

the election results. Instead, they put Suu Kyi and other pro-democracy leaders under
house arrest. Myanmar still has no democratic government.
Germany had been moving eastward in North Africa for control of the Suez Canal and the oil fields of Southwest Asia; Japan was moving westward for a hook-up with it's Axis partner in the oil rich region. The Suez Canal would provide the short-cuts when traversing with the newly attained oil riches.
Different Answer: No, the Japanese invaded Burma in 1941 to cutoff supplies from the United States to China, going through Burma. Burma was a British Colony. Both Britain & the United States were supporters of China in its resistance to Japanese aggression in China since 1937. The Japanese Army (which ran the Japanese government) was completely obsessed with the goal of defeating and subjugating China. The Japanese already by 1940 controlled all direct access of Chinese ports, so that China was cutoff by sea and would have to get its supplies over-land from the south (French Indo-China) and southwest (Burma). Earlier supplies from China's supporters had been coming to China from French Indochina (a French colony) until France was defeated by Germany and the Japanese occupied that colony. This forces supplies to China to travel through Burma, from the Port at Rangoon to Kunming, China.

What was the former name for Myanmar?
