Why Has There Been a Coup in Myanmar? | History of Burma/Myanmar 1942-2021

Myanmar, sometimes also referred to as Burma, is a country in South East Asia which has been in the news recently following a coup d'état, a military takeover of power carried out by the Army, removing the democratically-elected president, Win Myint, as well as Nobel Peace Prize winner and Counselor of State, Aung San Suu Kyi. As we will discover in this video, Myanmar's post-colonial history has been one of prolonged military juntas and general dictatorships, this latest seizure of power just the latest in a long line of coups, uprisings and political maneuvers.
