Like many similar stories of colonial history, on the previous page of history, the old capital of Myanmar, Yangon, was once a very prosperous city.
It was the center of Southeast Asia, located at the intersection of the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.
To the north was Dongxia, to the west India, to the east was the Mae Nam River Delta producing strategic materials like rubber and grain, and to the south was the bustling and dense international waterway.
Beautiful treasures naturally attract robbers.
And so, the colonizers came.
European armies occupied this country, and the Red Coat Musketeers under Edward VII, to the stirring melody of 'The Grenadiers March,' defeated the last monarch of the Myanmar feudal dynasty, forcing him to flee to foreign lands.
For Myanmar, this was the definitive end of a millennia-long feudal dynasty era. For the Sun Never Sets Empire, which was at its glorious peak at the time, this was merely an ordinary victory.
