User:Joshua Issac/Province of Burma

The Province of Burma was a province of British India from 1 January 1886 to 1 April 1937. It was formed by merging Lower Burma, which the British had annexed in the Second Anglo-Burmese War in 1852, with Upper Burma, which was captured in the Third Anglo-Burmese War. The province was divided into four divisions and three scheduled areas. It was designated a Lieutenant-Governorship in 1897. On 1 April 1937, the province was dissolved and the territory was administered independently of the British Indian Empire, as the Crown Colony of Burma.
