Also known as the Saya San Rebellion.

Armed disturbances broke out in Burma in December 1930 and continued throughout 1931 and into 1932. When they first broke out the origin of the disturbances was very obscure but it became apparent that they originated in a Nationalist movement which aimed at getting rid of British control.[1]
