Burma

2. Acountry inSoutheast Asia. Official name:Republic of the Union of Myanmar. Capital:Naypyidaw. Officially known asMyanmar.
   • 1898,Archibald R. Colquhoun, “The Geographical Question”, inChina in Transformation‎^[1],Harper & Brothers,→OCLC,page14:

     The province of Yunnan lies in the extreme southwest of the Empire, its southern and western borders forming the northern frontiers of Tongking andBurma respectively. On the north it is bordered by Szechuan, and on the east by Kweichau and Kwangsi. It is the third largest province of the Empire, its area measuring 122,000 square miles, but, as elsewhere remarked, owing to the devastatations^{[sic – meaningdevastations]} of the Mohammedan rebellion and ensuing plague, its population has been greatly reduced, and now is not more than 6,000,000. Yet its mineral wealth is greater and more varied than that of any other province. Its capital is Yunnan, between which town andBurma a considerable trade is carried on.

• Burma is a traditional name ofMyanmar, and was the official name in English until 1989. It is still used to express disapproval of the military government, which changed the name of the nation. SeeNames of Myanmar on Wikipedia.
