Annotation King Thibaw was dethroned on 29 Nov. 1885. The proclamation of 1 Jan. 1886 declared Upper Burma to be an
integral part of the British Empire. Diffferent kinds of administration for Upper Burma were contemplated: a
buffer state, a protected state, a semi-protected state, and a regency were considered, but all were found
impracticable. While the people expected a Myanmar Prince appointed by the British to succeed Thibaw, the
Chambers of Commerce strongly advocated outright annexation. When Lord Dufferin visited Mandalay to see
things for himself, he declined to receive the memorials submitted by the ex-Ministers. He recommended direct
administration as the best course, so the Hluttaw was abolished and Upper Burma incorporated in British India,
becoming a Scheduled District.
