Answer 1

Answer:

• The nation was divided by religion and history. Most of the people in Myanmar were Buddhist, but a minority were Muslim. They lived mostly on the western edge of the country, in a section known as the Rakhine State. It is one of seven states within the nation. They were known as Rohingya.

• During World War II, the Buddhist population fought for the Japanese, who occupied the island. The Rohingya sided with the Allies. They hoped to gain independence after the war, but that did not happen.

• The government then began doing things to harm the Muslims. In 1982, they took away civil rights for the Rohingya. They could not go to school or have health care. Thousands began leaving the country.
