Overview
For most of its modern history following independence from
Britain in 1948, Burma has been run by an authoritarian military
regime that has isolated the country and repressed its ethnically
diverse peoples. Economic policies have impoverished the country.
In the past few years, HIV/AIDS has also emerged as a critical
problem in Burma, with infection rates estimated to be as
high as four percent.
