Myanmar, also known as Burma, is a country located in Southeast Asia. It is bordered by Bangladesh, India, China, Laos, and Thailand. The country has a diverse population, with over 100 ethnic groups, the majority of whom are the Bamar people.

Myanmar has a rich history and cultural heritage, with ancient temples and ruins, traditional art and music, and a distinct cuisine. However, the country has also faced political and social challenges, including a long history of military rule and ongoing conflicts between the government and various ethnic groups.

In recent years, Myanmar has undergone significant political changes, including the release of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest in 2010 and the establishment of a civilian government in 2011. However, the country has also faced criticism for its treatment of ethnic and religious minorities, and the military carried out a coup d'état in February 2021, leading to widespread protests and international condemnation.
