The consequence in Burma was mass violence against Indians, who were the largest migrant population during the colonial period, which has continued all the way until the present day and currently manifests as the Rohingya genocide and ongoing civil war in Myanmar. 7/8

@Vinncent Teaching Modern Asia, I struggled to find a reading for students that really captures the reality of the US' role in (anti-)decolonization. Even after the SEA module, this book keeps on giving. All I need to say when discussing Mossadegh is "Remember the Jakarta Method?" So good.

Every once in a while, the actual rules of the liberal international order become terrifyingly clear. This shocks people of good conscience in the First World, while billions of others, who do not have the luxury of this ignorance, see awful confirmation of what they already know
