Maymyo/Pyin Oo Lwin, Former British Hill Station

After the last member of the Konbaung dynasty and last and very cruel Burmese King Thibaw (under whose short, seven-years merciless reign (1878 to 1885) every year many thousands of Burmese were murdered) had spend little time to severely alienating the British by, among others, sending his forces into the territory of then British India. Upper Burma was within two weeks effortlessly occupied by the British colonial forces in 1885 and Colonel May stationed at the hill station of Pyin Oo Lwin in 1887. He 'founded' the town, then named in combination of his name 'May' and the Burmese term for town 'Myo', 'Maymyo', which is the name the town is mainly known by especially outside Burma. https://teletype.in/@britishtransport/rkBSZpgOS
