Myanmar Refletion

The conflicts in Myanmar were rooted in the population's desire for a democracy. The citizens wanted the government to eradicate its dictatorship, so they constructed mass protest groups, many of witch were composed of monks pleaded for peaceful negotiations. The government, similar to how Pyongyang of North Korea was regulated, wanted to lock down its capital by preventing the flow of information. To counteract the protests, Myanmar's police force began to use violence. Many people were killed as a result of conflicting forces, and many people were also arrested. This sparked stronger protests in the citizens, so they began to throw bricks to fight back and agitate the government. Eventually, the government began to give up some of its dictatorship policies, creating a new capital to help eliminate the dark history of its old capital.
