Upper Burma was a term used by the British to refer to the central and northern area of what is now the country of Burma. After the Second Anglo-Burmese War of 1852, Lower Burma was annexed by the British Empire, while Upper Burma remained independent under the Kingdom of Burma until the Third Anglo-Burmese War of 1885. Upper Burma was also known as Burma proper and the Kingdom of Ava. Upper Burma was predominantly Bamar.
