Anglo-Burmese War, Third

The Third Anglo-Burmese War is a conflict that takes place during 7–29 November 1885, with sporadic resistance and insurgency continuing into 1887.

It is the final of three wars fought in the 19th century between the Burmese and the British.

The war sees the loss of sovereignty of an independent Burma under the Konbaung Dynasty, whose rule had already been reduced to the territory known as Upper Burma, the region of Lower Burma having been annexed by the British in 1853, as a result of the Second Anglo-Burmese War.Following the war, Burma comes under the rule of the British Raj as a province of India.

From 1937 on, the British rule Burma as a separate colony.

Burma achieves independence just eleven years later as a republic in 1948.
