This week in 1882: A Burmese embassy led by the Sorbonne-educated diplomat the Myoza of Kyaukmyaung arrived in Simla for talks with Lord Ripon, Viceroy of India.... It was the last serious effort to avoid the war and the annexation of Burma that would soon follow. The Myoza of Kyaukmyaung (U Shwe O, seated second from right) was then an Atwinwun, and working desperately to protect his country's independence whilst also tring to balance his relations with the two most powerful ministers at the Court of Ava - his mentor the Kinwun Mingyi and his father-in-law the Taingda Mingyi.
