Myanmar
In 1962, Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) was taken over by a military Junta. The Junta imprisoned critics, took over the parliament, and suppressed any form of democracy. Due to their brutal military dictatorship, they became a hermit state closed off to the rest of the world. This seriously impoverished most of its people. Only members of the regime and their families profited from their rule.
I'm not sure where or how, izismile gets his facts... well, not facts really, leftist propaganda more like it. As in, Confederates raping "millions" of African-American women and, too, the items you mention as well as many others. Columbus a 'conquistador'... seriously.
Post entertainment, entertaining pictures, etc., not skewed takes on history in support of a Howard Zinn view of the world.
