Publisher's Synopsis
""Burma, After The Conquest: Viewed In Its Political, Social And Commercial Aspects, From Mandalay"" is a book written by Grattan Geary about the country of Burma (now known as Myanmar) after it was conquered by the British in the late 19th century. The author provides a detailed account of the political, social, and commercial situation in Burma, particularly in the city of Mandalay, which was the last capital of the Burmese monarchy before it was annexed by the British. The book covers various topics such as the administration of the country by the British, the impact of Christianity and Western education on the Burmese people, the economic development of the region, and the cultural changes that occurred after the conquest. Geary's observations and insights provide a valuable perspective on the history of Burma and its relations with the British Empire during this period.
