Burma or Myanmar

Recent Myanmar history
Britain conquered Burma over a period of 62 years
(1824-1886) and incorporated it into its Indian Empire. Burma was
administered as a province of India until 1937 when it became a
separate, self-governing colony; independence outside of the
Commonwealth was attained in 1948. Gen. NE WIN dominated the
government from 1962 to 1988, first as military ruler, then as
president, and later as political kingmaker.
Since 1989
the military authorities in Burma have promoted the name Myanmar as
a conventional name for their state; which is a derivative of the Burmese short-form name
Myanma Naingngandaw
