Talk:Treaty of Yandabo

I have copied the sections "Historical Background" and "Yandaboo Accord" from the Yandaboo Accord article, which was mostly written by me. This portion, however, needs improvements. I'll contribute whatever more I can. Prabhakar 05:44, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The points in the article are the views of the British and the Assam people. They are different from Burmese historical accounts. Zeyar Aung

Thanks for pointing out. It is possible. Will you please add relevent material or provide me some links (or whatever material) so that I can accomodate a Burmese perspective also? Prabhakar 05:17, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

- According to the Burmese accounts, the first Anglo-Burmese war was not started by the Burmese attack on the British launched from Assam. It was started by the territorial dispute over Shinma Phyu island in Rakhine (Arakan) state, which is near also to Assam. However, it is true that Anglo-Burmese relation became deteriorated because of the Assam affair before the start of war. - Secondly, the so-called "Assam Massacre" was not in the Burmese historial accounts (naturally). :-) We may need other historical evidences to confirm it. - As I am not a historian, I cannot cite the sources. Sorry. The above points are from what I've learnt from my high school history books. - The text of the treaty itself seems to be correct. I have no objection on it. Zeyar Aung
