The war was driven by British commercial interests and imperialist policies under Lord Dalhousie.
British merchants sought control over upper Burma's timber resources and further access to the Burmese market.
The British occupied Pegu, the remaining coastal province of Burma, and faced intense guerrilla resistance before establishing control over lower Burma.
Following the death of King Bhindan, his son Thibaw succeeded to the throne and was hostile towards the British.
Thibaw's actions included negotiating with rival powers and imposing a fine on a British timber company, which led to Dufferin ordering the invasion and annexation of upper Burma in 1885.
The British faced a strong guerrilla uprising and a nationalist movement after World War I, leading to Burma's separation from India in 1935 and its eventual independence on January 4, 1948, under U Aung San.
