Quote of the day--Ratnagiri Burma connection--from wiki.

Myanmar/Burma connection British troops entered Mandalay on 28 November 1885 and Burma was attached to the British Empire on 1 January 1886. Burma would remain part of the British Empire until gaining independence in 1948. 26-year-old King Thibaw was immediately sent into exile with his heavily pregnant wife, his junior queen and two small daughters, and would live out the rest of his life in Ratnagiri, a prisoner of the British Crown. Ratnagiri was chosen for its remote location, some 3,000 miles from Thibaw's former royal seat of Mandalay, accessible only by sea for parts of the year and far from any territory of any rival European power.[20]
