the 11th century when King Anawrahta
united the whole country into the
First Myanmar Empire in Bagan. The
Bagan Empire encompassed the entire
Menam valley in Thailand and lasted
about 250 years, before it collapsed
with the invasion of the Mongols
under the leadership of Kublai Khan
in the 13th century. The Second
Myanmar Empire founded by King
Bayinnaung, in the middle of the
16th century. King Alaungpaya
founded the Third Myanmar Empire in
1752. It was during the zenith of
the Konbaung dynasty, when the
British colonized Myanmar. Myanmar
became a sovereign state on January
4, 1948, after gaining independence
from British.
