On 4 January 1948, Burma achieved independence from Britain, and became a democracy based on the parliamentary system.
On 19 July 1947, Aung San became Deputy Chairman of the Executive Council of Burma, a transitional government. But in July 1947, political rivals assassinated Aung San and several cabinet members. On 4 January 1948, the nation became an independent republic, named the Union of Burma, with Sao Shwe Thaik as its first President and U Nu as its first Prime Minister. Unlike most other former British colonies, it did not become a member of the Commonwealth. A bicameral parliament was formed, consisting of a Chamber of Deputies and a Chamber of Nationalities.[1] The geographical area Burma encompasses today can be traced to the Panglong Agreement, which combined Burma proper, which consisted of Lower Burma and Upper Burma, and the Frontier Areas, which had been administered separately by the British.

1)Upon independence in 1948 there was the awkward problem of the non-Burman sections of the country.2)Aung San, the paramount leader of the independence movement, formulated a reasonable approach to the problem.3)He promised that if the peoples of the non-Burman territories who were seeking independent statehood joined with the core Burman territories in the Union of Burma they would in ten years have the option of seceding from that union. 4)This promise was incorporated into the Constitution. To the great sorrow of the country Aung San was assassinated just before full independence.5)UNu who took Aung San's place as national leader after independence was an extraordinary individual and an able politician but he did not have the organizational skills of Aung San.hope it helps...;)
