Administration of Mandalay (1886-1897) Theingi Shwe Zin Htut After the First Anglo-Myanmar War (1824-26) and the Second Anglo-Myanmar War (1852), the whole Lower Myanmar fell under the annexation of the British colonists. During King Thibaw's reign, there took place the Third Anglo-Myanmar War, and the British announced on 1st January, 1886 that the whole Myanmar had been occupied. King Thibaw and Queen Suphaya Lat were taken as captives, and exiled to Ratana Giri in India. Thus, the monarchical system came to an end, and was replaced by the capitalist administration system. The Upper Myanmar administration was ruled by General Parendagat according to the martial law. Before the plans for administration had been laid down, the Hlut-taw was assigned the duty of temporary administration. But the Hlut-taw remained under the supervision of General Prendergast and Colonel. Saledin. Then the Hlut-taw was abolished, and the Councellor's Group, which comprised of five Myanmar ministers, was organized while other officers were paid pensions. The Counsellors were responsible for answering the queries of the Deputy Commissioner. In 1889, the Counsellor's Group was cancelled. The British government divided the regions, and appointed officers for administration. This paper presents a concise account of the commencement of the British administration since their annexation of Myanmar. 2019 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000000460 https://meral.edu.mm/records/460
