However, the dictatorship ignored the results of the elections and continued ruling. In 1991, the military junta agreed to democratic elections, which were won by the National League for Democracy, and should have made Aung San Suu Kyi the Prime Minister. His daughter Aung San Suu Kyi was placed under house arrest many times for leading the democracy movement. The founder of modern Myanmar, Aung San was assassinated months before independence. However, in 1962, a coup d'état brought the military into power, where it has been ever since. Myanmar became independent in 1948 as the Union of Burma, and had a democratic government at first. It was occupied by the Empire of Japan in the 1940s. Myanmar had a strong kingdom in ancient times, but the nation was taken over by the British in the 1800s. Aung San Suu Kyi, however, calls the country Myanmar now. Some question the military junta's authority to "officially" change the name in English in the first place. Major news organizations like the BBC still call it Burma. Accepting the name change in the English-speaking world has been slow, with many people still using the name Burma to refer to the country. The renaming was controversial, seen by some as linguistically bad. The official name of the country in the Burmese language, Myanmar did not change, however. It also made a new name in English for places in the country, such as its former capital city, from Rangoon to Yangon. In 1989, the military junta officially changed the English version of its name from Burma to Myanmar. In March 2018, Win Myint became the country's tenth and current President.
