Bagyidaw |
Also found in: Wikipedia | 0.18 sec. |
Bagyidaw(died October 1846) Seventh monarch of the Alaungpaya dynasty (r. 1819–37) of Myanmar. Bagyidaw was an ineffectual king, but his general, Maha Bandula, convinced him to pursue a policy of expansion in northeastern India. His conquest of Assam and Manipur angered the British, who launched the first of the Anglo-Burmese Wars. Bagyidaw spent the rest of his reign trying to mitigate the harsh terms of the Treaty of Yandabo (1826), which concluded that conflict. How to thank TFD for its existence?
