Myanmar's Spring Revolution: Understanding the Forces Fighting for Democracy Almost five years after Myanmar's military seized power in a coup d'état, the nation faces one of the world's deadliest conflicts. The 2021 coup sparked the Spring Revolution, a nationwide resistance movement uniting ethnic armed organizations, civilian defense forces, and a shadow government around a shared vision: establishing a federal democratic republic free from military rule.

As the Myanmar Spring Revolution enters its fifth year, here is a short article helping those who are not familiar with Myanmar understand the main forces in play, the political and strategic alliances, and the situation on the grounds at the beginning of 2026.

Contrary to Ukraine, the Myanmar resistance is fighting alone.
