Although Burma has been ruled by military regimes since March 1962, when General Ne Win overthrew the parliamentary government headed by Prime Minister U Nu in a coup d'etat, it has only been since 1988 that a new generation of military rulers (known since 1997 as the SPDC, or State Peace and Development Council) have aggressively transformed the capital city in line with strategic, commercial and ideological goals. Burma has been under a military dictatorship since the 1960s, when General Ne Win staged a coup against Prime Minister U Nu. Then, in March 1962, General Ne Win seized power in a military coup. |
