    El período entre 1945 y 1975 cubre la época en que el Partido Comunista de Birmania (PCB) soñó con hacerse con el poder en Rangún, primero mediante una revolución no violenta y más tarde con el recurso de la lucha armada. En sus inicios, la revuelta comunista llegó a amenazar la estabilidad del gobierno democrático de la Birmania independiente pero no logró derrocarlo. La falta de unidad interna entre los marxistas, la fuerte resistencia de los gobiernos de Rangún y la pérdida de apoyos sociales, entre otros factores, socavaron progresivamente el poder del PCB e impidieron cualquier posibilidad de triunfo comunista. A mediados de los setenta el PCB había dejado de ser una amenaza para el Estado birmano.

    Between 1945 and 1975 the Communist Party of Burma hoped to obtain power in Rangoon, first through a non-violent revolution and later by turning to armed struggle. While the Communist revolt initially threatened the stability of the democratic government of a newly-independent Burma, it failed to overthrow the regime. The disunity among the communists, the strong resistance of the government in Rangoon, and the loss of social support, among other factors, gradually undermined the power of the BCP and prevented a Communist victory. By the mid-1970s, the BCP was no longer a threat to the Burmese state.

    O período entre 1945 e 1975 é a época em que o Partido Comunista Birmanês (PCB) esperava tomar o poder em Rangum, primeiro através de uma revolução não violenta e depois recorrendo à luta armada. No início, a revolta comunista chegou a ameaçar a estabilidade do governo democrático da Birmânia independente, mas não conseguiu derrubálo. A falta de unidade interna entre os marxistas, a forte resistência dos governos de Rangum e a perda de apoio social, entre outros fatores, minou progressivamente o poder do PCB e impediu qualquer possibilidade de vitória comunista. Em meados dos anos setenta, o PCB já tinha deixado de ser uma ameaça para o Estado birmanês.
