On May 7, 1885, during a time when Burma was about to fall to the British, within the King's Palace, the Lord of Navy and Bo Kyaw Khaung were trying to join forces with the French to defend themselves. A group of Bo Thurain and Bo Min Htin, loyal to Prince of Nyaungyan, were trying to defend their own kingdom without relying on anyone. At that time, there was a time of disunity and ethnic division, and the British took advantage of the illegal logging and tried to take over the country. Who would stand up and fight to keep the Burmese state from falling?
