Myanmar, also known as Burma, is a Southeast Asian country located along the Bay of Bengal between India, Bangladesh, and Thailand. It has a long history of British colonial rule until gaining independence in 1948. In 1962 a military coup turned the country into a dictatorship that severely limited political and economic freedom. While reforms have begun in recent years, Myanmar has struggled with poverty and human rights issues due to decades of isolation and mismanagement under military rule. Buddhism is the dominant religion in the majority Buddhist country.
