The military government allowed elections to be held in Burma in 1990. To the surprise of the generals in charge, the National League for Democracy (NLD) won over 80% of the vote. However, the military never allowed the elected government to take power. After the election, the name of Burma was changed to Myanmar and some government positions changed hands but the country remained a military dictatorship. The name Myanmar also has ethnic overtones implying Burmese superiority over the other ethnic groups so most ethnic groups do not use this name if it can be avoided. (Last updated 3/27/07) |
