Abstract
Often reduced to the footnotes of contemporary research on Burma, the events of 1974 were crucial in the country’s recent his-tory and subsequent political development. The anti-government protests were violently crushed by the army but marked the first major evidence of the difficulties facing the ‘Burmese Way to Socialism’, a revolutionary and utopian military experiment developed since 1962, and the precedent of the 1988 revolution that would end General Ne Win’s military regime.References
