Document Summary

Led to the formation of the state law and order restoration council, which imposed martial law in the late 1980s. Renamed in 1998 but continued as a military junta. Aung san suu kyi, a democratic activist, was arrested, but now kinda leads the country from house arrest. Reforms have led to the military giving up power, but they still have some power and could take over if any serious crisis occurred. Through the late 1990s, it oscillated from civilian to military rule and back. Played partially off of ethnic and cultural differences. Military no longer has the credibility to take over during a serious national crisis, because the civilian government is so entrenched. However, if it lasted many years it could be an issue. Independent in 1840, but controlled by juntas from 1931-1979. Civil war in 1980s with coup and mixed governments. In 1992 the un peace agreement created demobilization and demilitarization. Elections have been held in 1994, 1999, 2005.
