Taninganway Min

Taninganway Min (Burmese: တနင်္ဂနွေမင်း, pronounced [tənɪ́ɰ̃ɡənwè mɪ́ɰ̃]; lit. 'Sunday King'; c. 1689 – 14 November 1733) was king of the Toungoo dynasty of Burma (Myanmar) from 1714 to 1733. The long and slow descent of the dynasty finally came to the forefront during his reign in the form of internal and external instabilities. He faced a rebellion by his uncle Governor of Pagan at his accession.[2] In the northwest, the Manipuri horsemen raided Burmese territory in early 1724. The retaliatory expedition to Manipur in November 1724 failed. In the east, southern Lan Na (Chiang Mai), under Burmese rule since 1558, successfully revolted in 1727.[4] Taninganway tried to recapture the breakaway region twice but both tries failed.[5] By 1732, southern Lan Na was independent although a strong Burmese garrison in Chiang Saen in northern Lan Na confined the rebellion to the Ping valley around Chiang Mai.[6]

Notes

  1. (Hmannan Vol. 3 2003: 365–366): Saturday, 9th waxing of Nadaw 1095 ME = 14 November August [O.S. 3 November] 1733
gollark: I think that if governments had actually been competent with initial containment, it wouldn't have been necessary to do lockdowns; given that they were useless, they were probably the least bad solution.
gollark: I was mostly complaining about their specific reasoning there (it is not very sensible, inasmuch as basically no possible bad event is *guaranteed* but ignoring the possibility of them is quite bad for you), but I don't agree with the rest of what they said either, so thing.
gollark: Bold of you to assume I know things.
gollark: > it's okay to not be scared of what MIGHT happenThis is such a moronically stupid attitude toward risk. Among other things.
gollark: ("you" in general)
