Scenarios about 'yangon'
Yangon, formerly known as Rangoon, is Myanmar's largest city and its commercial and cultural center until 2006 when the capital was moved to Naypyidaw. Originally a small fishing village before being developed by the British into a major port city during colonial rule, it features distinctive colonial architecture alongside significant Buddhist sites like Shwedagon Pagoda. In alternate history scenarios, Yangon often serves as a focal point for different outcomes in Southeast Asian development, British imperial history, or Japanese occupation during World War II.
