You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Maha Thammada''' (((lang-rki|မဟာသမ္မတ)); ((circa|May 1742)) – 1786), born '''Thado Aung''' (((lang-rki|သတိုးအောင်|link=no))), was the final monarch of the [[Kingdom of Mrauk U]], reigning from 1782 to 1785. He was the final Rakhine monarch.

When [[Sanda Thaditha]] died in 1782, nobles gathered and all in unison enthroned Thado Aung, who was a Duke of Ramree held the post of Letwemyan (လက်ဝဲမြန် အမတ်) and was the husband of niece of deceased king [[Sanda Thaditha]]. Thado Aung assumed the title of Maha Thammada Raza and ascended the throne. His queen was Saw Mae Pon (စောမယ်ပုံ). He appointed his brother in law, Kyaw Bon (ကျော်ပုံ), a general. He made his younger brother [[Chit Hla Shwe]] (ချစ်လှရွှေ) crown prince.

== Reign ==
During the reign of Maha Thammada Raza, he could control only the capital [[Mrauk U]] and surrounding areas. Many parts of the country was under control of rebels. Among these rebels, Kyaw Htwe (ကျော်ထွေး) was the most powerful and he controlled the southern parts of Arakan.

Maha Thammada Raza tried to suppress the rebellions with the help of his general Kyaw Bon. Many rebels including Kyaw Htwe soon made peace with Maha Thammada Raza and recognized his authority. They paid tribute to Maha Thammada Raza but still maintained their lands in control.

The country enjoyed a short season of stability but it faced a severe flood in summer, 1784. These flood inundated the alluvial delta of Kaladan river for a week destroying many rice fields and killing many lives. Consequently, it crippled the economy of Arakan. Naturally, floods are followed by epidemic diseases and famine.

On 30 June 1784, Maha Thammada Raza visited the famous temple of Mahamuni Buddha. On 18 September, he held second coronation ceremony and took the title of Aggopounnyazawraza (အဂ္ဂေါပုညာဇောရာဇာ).

== Burmese invasion ==
Meanwhile, Amarapura (Burma) was preparing for invasion of Arakan and stored up paddy secretly on mountain routes. The invasion took place in 1784. The Burmese forces led by crown prince [[Thado Minsaw]], consisted of four divisions, totaling 30,000 men (including 2500 cavalry and 200 elephants), begun their match towards Arakan in October. Three divisions crossed the Arakan Yoma from three different passes with Thado Minsaw's division crossing the mountains from its Minbu base. The fourth was a flotilla which came up from the Indian Ocean coastline from the erstwhile British base at Negrais.

Burmese forces first tried to take southern Arakan which was controlled by Kyaw Htwe. Kyaw Htwe, Lord of Tan Lhway (တန်းလွှဲ), tried alone to resist the invading troops. He won initial success but was unsuccessful due to lack of reinforcements from other lords. Soon he faced with defeats and fled to northern Arakan with his family. Then southern Arakan including the city of [[Thandwe]] fell into hands of Burmese forces.

After taking southern Arakan, Burmese forces landed on [[Ramree Island]] which was controlled by Prince [[Thet San Shwe]] (သက်စံရွှေ). Prince [[Thet San Shwe]] also tried to drive Burmese invaders out of his lands. But, with small numbers to repel the enemy, Prince [[Thet San Shwe]] also faced defeat and fled to jungle. Then Burmese forces occupied [[Ramree Island]] and aimed for next target, [[Mrauk U]], the capital of northern Arakan. On 31 December 1784, Burmese forces arrived and set up camp at Laungkyet, southeast of Mrauk U.

Meanwhile, Maha Thammada Raza gathered many nobles and asked their advices to deal with Burmese invasion. His brother in law, Kyaw Bon, persuaded Maha Thammada Raza to make peace with Burmese by giving his daughter to [[Bodawpaya]]. But Maha Thammada Raza did not heed the advice and tried to drive the invader off his land by force. On 31 December 1784, Maha Thammada Raza led his land and naval forces out of Mrauk U and attacked Burmese camp at Laungkyet. However he suffered a severe defeat and retreated back to the city. At the same day, his most trusted general, Kyaw Bon burned his own house and fled from the city.

When Maha Thammada Raza knew his brother in law had left him, he felt depressed and decided to abandon the royal capital. That night, at midnight, Maha Thammada Raza together with his family, his subjects, fled to [[Kyunthaya Island]] by 30 boats.

==Fall of Mrauk U ==
On 1 January 1785 the Burmese forces captured the city of [[Mrauk U]] and thus ended nearly five centuries of Rakhine independence. Eightdays later, the Burmese forces captured Maha Thammada Raza and his family hiding in [[Kyunthaya Island]] with the help of traitors. Only crown prince [[Chit Hla Shwe]] escaped and hid in jungle.

After the fall of the Kingdom of Mrauk U, looting and destruction followed. The royal palace was burned to the ground. Much of Arakan's cultural and intellectual heritage was lost. Many people were deported forcibly to Burma. The Mahamuni Buddha, the very symbol of Arakanese sovereignty, was forcibly brought to Amarapura. Arakan was annexed and ruled through four governorships (Mrauk U, Ramree, Man Aung, Thantwe), each backed by a garrison.

== Death ==
Maha Thammada Raza and his family was brought to Amarapura. Depressed, the last king of Arakan died a captive at Amarapura two years later.
