History of Myanmar

The History of Burma (Myanmar) is long and complex. Many peoples have lived in the region, the oldest of which are the Mon. In the 9th century the Myamma or Burmese people migrated from the then China-Tibet border region into the valley of the Irrawaddy, and now form the governing majority.
